"Frank Turner provides a genuinely new and exciting reading of Newman''s much-read Apolgia, juxtaposing the historical conditions of nineteenth-century England with Newman''s version of them."-George Levine, Rutgers University
"Professor Turner has written a very full and significant Introduction for this new edition of the Apologia. It will be a great addition to the scholarly literature on Newman."-Robert Bruce Mullin, SPRL Professor of History, The General Theological Seminary
"In his own life and for the Church, John Henry Newman navigated the narrows between change and tradition, freedom and dogma, conscience and authority. Such tensions split the world still. Newman''s masterpiece, as elegantly presented by Frank M. Turner, has never been more relevant."-James Carroll, author of House of War
Synopsis
This book is part of the "Everyman" series, which has been totally re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type. The book includes a themed introduction, chronology of life and times of the author, glossaries of Latin and Greek terms and a selection of criticism. Once a famous Anglican clergyman, Newman left his living in the 1840s, recanted his former criticism of the Roman Catholic Church, and entered the priesthood, becoming - ultimately - a cardinal. Framing his "Apologia" in reply to a "grave and gratuitous slander" which he felt Charles Kingsley had made against him, Newman overcame his characteristic shyness and produced one of the masterpieces of spiritual writing: honest, passionate, scrupulous and moving.
