Newman & Conversion

by Ian Ker (Editor)

Newman's conversion to Roman Catholicism is one of the most momentous in the history of religion. His own autobiographical account ranks with St. Augustine's Confessions as a spiritual classic; but it is also one of the masterpieces of Victorian prose. This interdisciplinary collection of studies includes contributions from distinguished scholars in the fields of history, literature, philosophy and theology. Together they explore major aspects of conversion in the life and writing of John Henry Newman. A wide-ranging and illuminating study
