Jacob Phillips employs key coordinates of cultural theory to
discern how the notion of English sensibility applies to John Henry
Newman, with a detailed study of Newman's lifelong conflict with
his own cultural identity. Phillips compares Newman's early
Anglican work, featuring integral qualities of 'reserve',
'pragmatism' and 'moderation', and compares them both with Newman's
later critiques of his own work, and the ways in which English
tendencies resurface in his mature work. This book thus sheds new
light on the complexity of Newman's Englishness, as well as the
broader lineaments of English theology, by examining the body of
scholarship on Newman, English culture and Newton's fluctuating
proximity and distance, English sensibility and Newman's distance
after his conversion. Phillips also contributes to theological
reflection on culture more generally, by discerning how theological
subject matter is always determined by cultural expression, and yet
expands the reach of that expression to attain a scope more fitting
to its proper scope; the ultimate universality of God.
