Apologia Pro Vita Sua: Bloomsbury Revelations

Autor John Henry Newman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2014
Even before the publication of his masterwork, John Henry Newman had been regarded as one of the most important religious thinkers on the 19th Century. His decision in 1845 to leave his Anglicanism behind and convert to the Roman Catholic faith was one that rocked the Victorian establishment at a time when virulent anti-Catholic feeling ran high. It was in response to one particularly vicious attack - by the Reverend Charles Kingsley - that Newman wrote his Apologia Pro Vita Sua. A humane and vivid account of the development of his ideas and his faith and a passionate defence of both, the book remains a landmark work of Victorian literature and autobiography and one that continues to resonate to this day.

Notă biografică

John Henry Newman was an influential theologian, philosopher, historian, and writer whose work shaped both Anglican and Catholic thought in the 19th century. Born on February 21, 1801, in London to Jemina Fourdrinier and John Newman, he showed early intellectual promise and later studied at Trinity College, Oxford. He initially served as an Anglican priest, where his academic and spiritual contributions made him a central figure in the Oxford Movement, which aimed to return the Church of England to its Catholic roots. Over time, his theological inquiries and personal convictions led him to convert to Catholicism in 1845, a decision that marked a turning point in his life and drew considerable attention. Newman became a Catholic priest and was eventually elevated to cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. His most notable works include Apologia Pro Vita Sua and The Idea of a University, through which he articulated his vision of faith, reason, and education. A gifted writer and poet, he continued his scholarly and pastoral work until his death on August 11, 1890, in Edgbaston, Birmingham. He left behind a legacy of spiritual depth and intellectual rigor that continues to resonate in religious and academic circles.

Recenzii

`Every library should have this edition'Choice
`Provides almost everything needed by anyone wishing to grapple with the "facts and problems" which bear on the genesis of the Apologia ... Svaglic's introduction gives evidence of a sensitive understanding of Newman's spiritual difficulties ... has rendered an enormous service to all students of nineteenth-century literature ... There must be few works of comparable size which can be so rarely faulted as this superb edition.' Modern Language Review
`Dr Svaglic and the Clarendon Press have put all students of Newman in their debt.' Religious Studies
