Publisher's Synopsis
This book is part of the "Everyman" series, which has been totally re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type. The book includes a themed introduction, chronology of life and times of the author, glossaries of Latin and Greek terms and a selection of criticism.;Once a famous Anglican clergyman, Newman left his living in the 1840s, recanted his former criticism of the Roman Catholic Church, and entered the priesthood, becoming - ultimately - a cardinal. Framing his "Apologia" in reply to a "grave and gratuitous slander" which he felt Charles Kingsley had made against him, Newman overcame his characteristic shyness and produced one of the masterpieces of spiritual writing: honest, passionate, scrupulous and moving.
