John Henry Newman (1801 90) was a major figure in
nineteenth-century religious history. He was one of the major
protagonists of the Oxford or Tractarian Movement within the Church
of England whose influence continues to be felt within Anglicanism.
A high-profile convert to Catholicism, he was an important
commentator on Vatican I and is often called 'the Father' of the
Second Vatican Council. Newman's thinking highlights and
anticipates the central themes of modern theology including
hermeneutics, the importance of historical-critical research, the
relationship between theology and literature, and the
reinterpretation of the nature of faith. His work is characterised
by two elements that have come especially to the fore in
post-modern theology, namely, the importance of the religious
imagination and the fiduciary character of all knowledge. This
Companion fills a need for an accessible, comprehensive and
systematic presentation of the major themes in Newman's work.
