John Henry Newman is one of the most beloved and well-known British
theologians, an instrumental figure in the Oxford Anglican movement of
the nineteenth century and an infamous convert to Roman Catholicism.
Through his tractates, essays, and monographs, Newman has been seen as
a precursor and Father to the Second Vatican Council. His narration of
his own life and conversion, Apologia pro vita sua, is often
considered one of the classics of spiritual autobiography, akin to
Augustine's Confessions. Newman and Life in the Spirit collects essays
from leading theologians and scholars examining the theology and
spirituality of one of the most important and beloved nineteenth
century theologians, the recently beatified John Henry Newman. The
essays in this volume present critical analysis of the perception and
role of spirituality in various aspects of Newman’s thought, from
his doctrinal work to his university and parochial sermons, and argue
for its significance to Christian theology and practice in the
twenty-first century.
