    About this ebook

    Apologia Pro Vita Sua (Latin: A defence of one's life) is the classic defence of the religious opinions of John Henry Newman, published in 1864 in response to what he saw as an unwarranted attack on himself, the Catholic priesthood, and Roman Catholic doctrine by Charles Kingsley. The work quickly became a bestseller and has remained in print to this day. The work was tremendously influential in turning public opinion for Newman, and in establishing him as one of the foremost exponents of Catholicism in England.

    After a brief and unsatisfactory correspondence with Kingsley, Newman began work on the Apologia.

    A revised version, with many passages re-written and some parts omitted was published in 1865.

    John Henry Newman

    British theologian John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) was a leading figure in both the Church of England and, after his conversion, the Roman Catholic Church and was known as "The Father of the Second Vatican Council." His Parochial and Plain Sermons (1834-42) is considered the best collection of sermons in the English language. He is also the author of A Grammar of Assent (1870).

      Autobiografie en rechtvaardiging van zijn overstap van anglicanisme naar katholicisme. Kanhelaas niet meer echt boeien.

      Boy, did I not really get much out of this book. I was a bit curious, having also been one who sort of unexpectedly went Catholic one day, to some persons' surprise. To me the book is just rather locked in its timely position in 19th century English church life, and more universal aspects of faith and religion were passed aside. Fine, okay, no one says an autobiography has to be generational, but I expected more by this book's repuation.
    • 4/5
      Important read for anyone who is Anglican but finds themselves drawn to Rome. I'm not really qualified to give a good review of this book, but will say this: know your church history and Anglican documents well before you read--for instance it's important to know the 39 Articles, or at least have access to them, so you understand what Newman was wrestling with before he wrote Tract 90 and later went to Rome.
