The point of controversy, in 1864, between Charles Kingsley and
John Henry Newman is now only incidental to what it produced. Out
of it came one of the most influential religious autobiographies of
western liturature, the Apologia Pro Vita Sua. It is far more than
a vigorous defense of religious adherence it is an affirmation of
faith and conviction, a projection of a magnetic and powerful
personality and dynamic account of spiritual conversion. Anton C.
Pegis, the renowned Thomist scholar and distinguished Catholic
philosopher, provides an illuminating and perceptive introduction
for Cardinal Newman's masterpiece.Contents Include Mr. Kingsley's

Still considered essential reading for serious thinkers on religion
more than a century and a half after it was written, this seminal
work of modern theology, first published in 1845, presents a
history of Catholic doctrine from the days of the Apostles to the
time of its writing, and follows with specific examples of how the
doctrine has not only survived corruption but grown stronger
through defending itself against it, and is, therefore, the true
religion. This classic of Christian apologetics, considered a
foundational work of 19th-century intellectualism on par with
Darwin's Origin of Species, is must reading not only for the
faithful but also for anyone who wishes to be well educated in the
fundamentals of modern thought.
A classic of Christian apologetics, this 1865 spiritual biography
of the vicar who stunned the Church of England when he abandoned it
for Roman Catholicism plumbs the depths of the faith that
Catholicism inspires. Structured as a response to one of his
greatest public critics, it remains a beloved work to this day.
First published in the mid 19th century, this is a replica of the
1908 edition, and features the authors thoughts o his religions
opinions throughout his life as well as sermons and other addresses
and correspondence with other clergy and religious philosophers.

figure in both the Church of England and, after his conversion, the
Roman Catholic Church-was known as "The Father of the Second
Vatican Council." His Parochial and Plain Sermons (1834-42) is
considered the best collection of sermons in the English language.

The Dream of Gerontius, first published in 1865, is Cardinal
Newman's epic poem describing the descent of Gerontius, an Everyman
character, into death and Purgatory. The poem opens with the old
man's realization that his time has come. And once he has died, the
story follows his soul through an encounter with angels and demons
as he approaches the judgment of God. Dramatists will find this an
interesting interpretation of the Christian vision of life after
death. British theologian JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEWMAN (1801-1890), a
