John Henry Newman

Defined and Illustrated in Nine Discourses Delivered to the Catholics of Dublin in Occasional Lectures and Essays Addressed to the Members of the Catholic University

The Idea of a University

An influential Church of England vicar, John Henry Newman stunned the Anglican community in 1843 when he joined the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant clergyman Charles Kingsley launched the most scathing attacks against Newman and this was Newman's brilliant response. A spiritual autobiography, Apologia Pro Vita Sua explores the very depths and nature of Christianity.

An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine

Attending Oxford University in the 1840s, Charles Reding, a young student, must decide about his own spiritual commitment

The Story of a Convert

Loss and Gain

This classic of Christian apologetics seeks to persuade the skeptic that there are good reasons to believe in God even though it si impossible to understand the Deity fully. First written over a century ago, the Grammar of Assent speaks as powerfully to us today as it did to its first readers. Because of the informal, non-technical character of Newman's work, it still retains its immediacy as an invaluable guide to the nature of religious belief. An introduction by Nicholas Lash reviews the background of the Grammar, highlights its principal themes, and evaluates its philosophical originality.

The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated

John Henry Newman, una de las figuras religiosas más destacadas del siglo XIX, cuya influencia llega hasta nuestros días, tuvo también una exitosa carrera como novelista. Perder y ganar, su primera novela, relata la historia de Charles Reding, un joven en búsqueda de la fe en el Oxford victoriano. En gran medida autobiográfica, fue la primera obra que Newman publicó después de su conversión al catolicismo. Esta conmovedora obra se sitúa enteramente por primera vez en el mundo universitario de Oxford, y refleja con ironía, lucidez y delicadeza el ambiente social y cultural de la época, junto a la evolución intelectual y religiosa de su protagonista.

Miscellanies from the Oxford Sermons and Other Writings of John Henry Newman

The Lectures on the Present Position of Catholics in England is John Henry Newman's brilliant satirical attack on anti-Catholic prejudice and propaganda. The lectures appeared at a time of national uproar, the "Papal Aggression" crisis of 1850-51, and they landed Newman in court for libel. Aimed at a popular audience, they are supremely readable, at times shocking, and certainly the most humorous of any of Newman's writings. Yet they are less well known today than his other works and until now have only been intermittently available. Newman himself thought they were his best-written work, and the leading Newman scholar, Ian Ker, has called them a "neglected satirical masterpiece".
