About the author

Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman was an important figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century. He was known nationally by the mid-1830s.
Originally an evangelical Oxford University academic and priest in the Church of England, Newman then became drawn to the high-church tradition of Anglicanism. He became known as a leader of, and an able polemicist for, the Oxford Movement, an influential and controversial grouping of Anglicans who wished to return to the Church of England many Catholic beliefs and liturgical rituals from before the English Reformation. In this the movement had some success. However, in 1845 Newman, joined by some but not all of his followers, left the Church of England and his teaching post at Oxford University and was received into the Catholic Church. He was quickly ordained as a priest and continued as an influential religious leader, based in Birmingham. In 1879, he was created a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in recognition of his services to the cause of the Catholic Church in England. He was instrumental in the founding of the Catholic University of Ireland, which evolved into University College Dublin, today the largest university in Ireland.

Newman was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on 19 September 2010 during his visit to the United Kingdom. He was then canonised by Pope Francis on 13 October 2019.

Newman was also a literary figure of note: his major writings including the Tracts for the Times (1833–1841), his autobiography Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1865–66), the Grammar of Assent (1870), and the poem The Dream of Gerontius (1865),[6] which was set to music in 1900 by Edward Elgar. He wrote the popular hymns "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Praise to the Holiest in the Height" (taken from Gerontius).

Reviews

[Cornelius Pulung · Rating 5 out of 5]

Buku ini adalah kumpulan lectures tentang doktrin justifikasi yang ditulis Newman waktu dia masih seorang Anglican. Sambil membandingkan ajaran Protestan dan Katolik, Newman memaparkan sudut pandangnya sendiri yang sangat biblis dan berdasarkan doktrin Bapa Gereja, dan karenanya pemikirannya sangat dekat dengan ajaran Katolik. Bukan bacaan yang mudah dicerna, namun bila diupayakan membacanya sampai selesai, ada banyak hal2 yang mencerahkan.

Great Synthesis of Scripture, Anglican Formularies and Roman Catholic view on Justification. Little unfair/inaccurate to Luther's view by conflating it with contemporary Lutherans. Really nails down the difference between Rome and Classical Protestantism on Justification.

"We are justified by the very presence of Christ, given in baptism, received by faith, grown by charity and the sacraments."
