The author of this book describes an important aspect of the young
John Henry Newman at Oxford: the close relationship between the
historical researches of his study, and the teeming world of early
19th century controversy. The setting Dr Thomas describes is Oxford
between the 1820s and the 1840s, when Newman made his ambitious and
doomed attempt to re-invent the catholicity of the Church of
England, and where party-grouping, enmity, and friendship were
inextricably meshed in the intense world of nascent tractarianism.
The author shows that in Newman's battle against the Protestant
wing of the Church of England, and the (to him) even more sinister
liberals, he saw parallels with the struggle of the early Church
against heresy. Newman's rediscovery of ancient Patristic writers
and heretics was thus part of a strategy to revive Catholicism
within the Anglican Church, where the past was read in light of the
present, and the present in light of the past. Thomas shows how
Newman's eventual conversion to Rome in 1845 may be understood as a
change in his perception of heresy, and a realisation of the
applicability of his own polemic to his Anglican self.
