This selection from the most productive Christian pen of the 19th
century is also an introduction to one of its most compelling and
troubled minds. John Henry Newman (1801-1891) was a dominant figure
in both the Anglican and the Roman Catholic churches. His writings
and his human presence in Oxford and elsewhere had an abiding
impact on both communions and contribute still to the spirit of
ecumenicism. This bok concentrates on Newman's life and work up to
9 October 1845, the mid-point of his life and the moment be became
a Roman Catholic. He was a prolific and subtle writer, a great
prose artist whose sermons, tracts and polemics, together with a
talent for organization and an ability to inspire others to faith
and action, launched the Oxford Movement and the controversies that
still follow from it. The 12 years between 1833 and 1845 are among
the most important for English Christianity, and they were shaped
for the most part by the pen and energy of Newman, a rather shy,
quiet Oxford don, whose enduring legacy was to restore to the
Church of England its Catholic heritage. Newman was complex and
sometimes contradictory as a man, and even in his most formal
writings the man is present, responding to social and political
pressures of church and state. A great communicator, with a need
for self-disclosure, he is nonetheless revealed "and" concealed in
his writings.
