Summary

This study of one of England's most influential Christians is composed of key extracts from Cardinal Newman's theological writings, showing the development of this thought, linked by commentary. It includes several texts never anthologized before, a brief biographical study and an explanation of his ideas. The Oxford Movement, which Newman led, was responsible for a renewal in the Church of England, while his ideas on the laity and on the development of doctrine laid the groundwork for the Second Vatican Council. His influence on modern theology continues to grow, as does his importance as a bridge between Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism.
