The conversion of Cardinal Newman, an educated, renown Anglican, gave respectability to converting to Catholicism in England. Recusant Catholics had been treated as social outcasts and persecuted when the English monarchy outlawed the practice of the true faith. Hence the Catholic hierarchy rejoiced when Cardinal Newman broke the ice for many Anglicans to enter the Church and eloquently defended the Catholic faith. Yet, heroes are still human, and converts to the Church are practically unable to completely discard their non-Catholic mindset simply by their baptism. All this made the Catholic hierarchy both in Rome and in England both praise and fear this newly adopted son. How could his Protestant mindset be criticized and he still be used as a showpiece of Catholic respectability? Cardinal Newman's theory of the development of doctrine, along with his other ideas that were controversial during his time, are herein analyzed by renown theologians and an equally literary Catholic, Orestes Brownson. On the other hand Newman's famous biographer, Wilfred Ward, made the Cardinal an untouchable anti-liberal to traditionally minded Catholics, yet an avian guard liberal pioneer to liberal Catholics, including the very founders of the school of Modernism. Even if it can be argued that Newman act in good faith, what is not generally known is that he formed his own school of thought within the Church favoring a mutability of Catholic doctrine, seemingly adopted and acclaimed by the Second Vatican Council.

The fascinating and insightful biography of one of the most intriguing, thoughtful and controversial figures of the 19th century. 'Growth is the only evidence of life' - so said poet, academic and theologian John Henry, Cardinal Newman. Canonised in 2019 (despite having said 'I have nothing of the saint about me'), Newman was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of the 19th century. This highly lyrical and accomplished biography not only covers his religious life (he played a vital role in the Oxford Movement, and subsequently converted to Catholicism), but also places him in the context of 19th-century religious revival and changing attitudes. In addition to his sometimes controversial teachings, Cardinal Newman was also a poet who wrote the text of Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius and was responsible for the foundation of the Oratorian Order in England. Michael Ffinch shows an unusual insight into Newman's character, finding an unexpected warmth and humour in a man often thought of as cold and austere. This fascinating biography also shows a deep understanding of a church emerging from dark centuries of persecution and misunderstanding into the light of what Newman himself chose to call 'The Second Spring'.

Introduction by Louis Bouyer A beautifully bound, Bible paper volume of Newman's most profound devotional writings. His meditations on the Litany of Loreto for the month of May, and on the Stations of the Cross are already recognized as classics of Catholic spirituality. And in his meditations on Christian doctrine Newman shows that the source of true piety is sound teaching. His verses on various occasions are profoundly inspiring as are the spiritual hymns and canticles which distill the wisdom of the incomparable Newman. In addition, also included are the devotions of Bishop Lancelot Andrewes, translated by Newman himself and used by him as the primary source of his own spiritual life. Louis Bouyer, the greatest living Newman scholar, says of these: "Newman quite believed that in these exercises of Andrewes he had discovered that form of prayer which springs directly from the word of God and leads to a life fully lived in Christ. Not only as a priest, but later on as a cardinal of the Roman church, he would keep the Preces privatae on his kneeler for his daily preparation and thanksgiving before and after Mass and for his most personal meditations."
