Bøker i Newman Letters & Diaries-serien

John Henry Newman (1801-90) was brought up and educated in the Church of England in the Evangelical tradition, but from 1839 onwards he began to have religious doubts and in 1845 was received into the Roman Catholic Church. This volume of his letters covers a particulary turbulent time in his life.

Newman edges closer to Rome, under attack from many quarters. He steps down as editor of the Lives of the English Saints. Days after completing the Essay on Development, he resigns his fellowship of Oriel College and prepares for reception into the Church of Rome.
