John Henry Newman by Frank M Turner
One of the most controversial religious figures of the nineteenth century, John Henry Newman (1801-1890) began his career as a priest in the Church of England but converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1845. This title portrays Newman as a disruptive and confused schismatic conducting a radical religious experiment.
"'Frank MTurner's book revolutionises Newman studies... It liberates him from the stranglehold of ecclesiasticism (a stranglehold whose knots he happily tied himself with his silken fingers) and reveals a believable human psyche.' (A. N. Wilson, Literary Review) 'Turner's book is both a powerful and compelling statement about Newman's ideas and development during his formative years, and an indispensable guide to an important chapter in nineteenth-century English history.' (Frederick Quinn, Anglican Theological Review)"
