Böcker av John Henry Newman

A Vintage Spiritual Classic In this original selection of his public sermons, private papers, and devotions, Newman's thoughtful belief in the Word of God shines through, as do his teachings on how to be in this world but not of it, and how to reconcile faith and reason. Devoted to his own religious calling for nearly a century, John Henry Newman is one of the most definitive authorities on Christianity and theology. A cardinal of the Catholic Church, he had a pivotal role in Britian's reembrace of the Catholic Church in the 19th century. In 2010, he was officially canonized by Pope Benedict XVI. Selected Sermons, Prayers, and Devotions was edited by John F. Thorton and Susan B. Varenne and includes a preface by Peter J. Gomes. Praise for Selected Sermons, Prayers, and Devotions "Newman is one of the greatest of all spiritual writers, a master of English prose and an incomparable expositor of the mysteries of God and creation. This wonderful collection captures the heart of his eloquence and warmth. A superb achievement."-Philip Zaleski, editor of The Best Spiritual Writing Series

Newman instructed that after his death his letters about the Catholic University were 'not for publication [...] because they relate to matters, which cannot be touched upon without getting into controversy'. Publication could be considered 'only on great provocation and grave reasons of expedience or propriety'. These sensitive papers comprised a 'Memorandum about my Connection with the Catholic University' and a lengthy Appendix of correspondence, together with a running commentary by Newman.When his literary executor, William Neville, had Newman's other University papers privately printed as My Campaign in Ireland, Part I (now published by Gracewing in a critical edition), he left the remaining more controversial papers in the Birmingham Oratory's archives as a possible future Part II. But the 'Memorandum' was not published until 1956, as part of Autobiographical Writings, and the accompanying Appendix has remained unpublished until now.My Campaign in Ireland, Part II represents Newman's verdict on his frustrating years as founding Rector of the University. In describing the causes of his 'campaign's' failure, he is not afraid to criticise those who shared responsibility with him, not least his co-founder Archbishop Cullen and even Pope Pius IX. These candid writings show Newman's toughness and fairness in his dealings, and how his powers of diplomacy were stretched to the limit.The editor of this critical edition, Paul Shrimpton, has provided an Introduction and comprehensive footnotes to both the Memorandum and the Appendix, enabling the reader to make sense of the conflicts and viewpoints they describe and providing the historical context. Together with My Campaign, Part I, this volume makes essential reading for understanding what happened when Newman tried make his Idea of a University a reality.

This volume of John Henry Newman's Catholic University papers, collected and arranged by his private secretary William Neville, was printed for private circulation in 1896, six years after Newman's death. Since then, it has only been reproduced in facsimile.My Campaign in Ireland, Part I brings together all the most important documents penned by Newman in his efforts to establish a Catholic university in Ireland. As founding rector, Newman was fully involved in every aspect of the university from 1854, when it opened, until 1858, when he resigned. The discourses he composed in 1852, to prepare for the university's foundation, form the first half of The Idea of a University, Newman's great classic work on education; but the foundational documents in My Campaign in Ireland, Part I demonstrate how he was able to turn theory into practice in adverse circumstances. Filling out Newman's vision of education, they show how he should also be esteemed for his practical contribution to education.While these university papers are a treasure for anyone alive to Newman's educational genius, they contain an additional item that gives the collection a special significance: Discourse V which Newman omitted from the Idea.This volume is the first critical edition of My Campaign in Ireland, Part I. The editor, Newman scholar Paul Shrimpton, provides an introduction and comprehensive footnotes. These elucidate the significance of the volume's various documents by providing a historical context for Newman's educational endeavours in Dublin. In addition, English translations have been supplied for documents that were originally in Latin.

Originally published in 1850 and revised in 1876, John Henry Newman's Lectures on Difficulties Felt by Anglicans in Submitting to the Catholic Church is a series of twelve talks that the convert gave at the London Oratory in King William Street before an audience of Catholics, Anglo-Catholics, Protestants and intrigued sceptics. The stated purpose of the talks might have been "to clear away from the path of an inquirer objections to Catholic truth," especially Anglo-Catholic inquirers, but the book is also a witty meditation on the Church and the World, a ruthlessly satirical study of the Oxford Movement, or what Newman called "the Movement of 1833"; an autobiographical dress rehearsal for the Apologia pro Vita Sua; and a piece of masterly prose. Richard Holt Hutton, Newman's finest contemporary critic regarded it as marked "in manner and style... by all the signs of his literary genius... the first of his books... in which the measure of his literary power could be adequately taken."Neglected for over a century by many who regarded its hard-hitting criticism of the National Church of England as unforgivable, the book can now be seen as profoundly cautionary. If one of its animating themes is to show how worldly establishments travesty "the Ark of Salvation," Newman's Anglican Difficulties has perennial appeal. Indeed, it is an anatomy of the false and brazen things that lie at the heart of all such establishments.This is the first critical edition of the book to include an editor's introduction with an overview and summaries of the lectures, the book's critical reception, a definitive text of the 1876 edition, textual variants, annotations explicating the text's historical, theological, and literary references, and a comprehensive index.

This is the second volume in which John Henry Newman collected together articles which he had written as an Anglican during the Oxford Movement and revised and republished as a Catholic in 1871.All but one are from the years immediately leading up to his conversion to the Catholic Church in 1845, thus giving a fascinating snapshot of the movement of his mind at this crucial period. The final essay was his first published article as a Catholic in 1846 in which he appeals to other members of the Oxford Movement to recognise where their Catholic theology should lead them – to Rome.The Editor has provided a detailed Introduction to each Essay, comprehensive footnotes to the text, explaining Newman’s numerous historical and other references, and a Textual Appendix giving all the variants between the original 1840s texts and Newman’s 1871 revisions.

John Henry Cardinal Newman begins the 'Essay' with a definition of development, pointing out that the real problem is how to distinguish true developments from corruptions and decays. He then goes on to a sweeping consideration of the growth and development of doctrine in the Catholic Church, from the time of the Apostles to Newman's own era. He demonstrates that the basic "rule" under which Christianity proceeded through the centuries is to be found in the principle of development, and emphasized that throughout the entire life of the Church this law of development has been in effect and safeguards the faith from any real corruption.
