Book Description
Published in 1845, the Essay is an important work from English clergyman John Henry Newman. Written during his own conversion from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism, it discusses how the development of Christian teaching over time in Rome and elsewhere was a natural response to human appropriation of God's transcendent truths.
About the Author
John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was a Roman Catholic cardinal. In 1991 he was proclaimed Venerable. As a young man he was active in the Oxford Movement which tried to bring the Church of England back to its catholic roots. After his conversion to Catholicism he wrote many influential books. After joining the Catholic Church many Protestant clergymen criticized his decision and questioned his faith. Charles Kingsley in particular attacked Newman. Newman's response was to write Apologia pro Vita Sua, which is a spiritual autobiography. In this work Newman explores the depth of Christianity.
