Apologia Pro Vita Sua 1994 John Henry Newman Catholic Saint Memoir PB Very Good

Penguin Books, 1994. Trade paperback of Apologia Pro Vita Sua by John Henry Newman.

John Henry Newman, one of the towering figures of the early Victorian Church of England, caused shock and outrage in equal measure when he announced his espousal of Roman Catholicism in 1845. His Apologia, written nearly twenty years later in response to a scurrilous public attack by Charles Kingsley, is a superbly crafted response to those who criticized his actions and questioned his motives, and traces his spiritual development since boyhood, his close involvement in the high church Tractarian Movement and his agonizing decision to reject the church he had been born into.

Very Good. Previous owner's name to the title page. Nice book with light shelf wear.
