Items related to John Henry Newman: His Life and Work
Synopsis
Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) was one of the most eminent and controversial figures of the 19th Century. His conversion of the Church of Rome sparked one of the most bitter and divisive controversies of the Victorian age. His religious thought helped to lay the foundations for the second Vatican Council.Brian Martin's sympathetic study is a critical biography of Newman that surveys his life from his brilliant Oxford career to his eventual elevation to the Cardinalate. His relations with other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Britain are examined, and his major works are discussed in the context of his life.

Review
"this is a well-written, well-illustrated and attractively presented book, which marks admirably the bi-centenary of the birth of its subject." Downside Review 419 (April 2002) "Well-illustrated and accessibly written, it is a splendid introduction to a man who embodies in his life and writings many of the controversies of nineteenth-century Christianity For the person for whom Newman is still only a name, or someone who needs to refresh their memory about him, this is the ideal book." Franciscan Magazine, September 2001 "A beautifully produced reissue of a text previously published in 1982 and 1990, timed to coincide with the two hundredth anniversary of Newman's birth. This is a fluently written, thoroughly entertaining account of Newman's life, with numerous illustrations. A good, enjoyable [ ] read, and a nice way of marking the anniversary." - Reviews in Religion and Theology, June, 2001
