The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman Summary

The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman by Frederick D. Aquino (Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Professor of Theology and Philosophy, the Graduate School of Theology, Abilene Christian University)

John Henry Newman (1801-1890) has always inspired devotion. Newman has made disciples as leader of the Catholic revival in the Church of England, an inspiration to fellow converts to Roman Catholicism, a nationally admired preacher and prose-writer, and an internationally recognized saint of the Catholic Church. Nevertheless, he has also provoked criticism. The church authorities, both Anglican and Catholic, were often troubled by his words and deeds, and scholars have disputed his arguments and his honesty. Written by a range of international experts, The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman shows how Newman remains important to the fields of education, history, literature, philosophy, and theology. Divided into four parts, part one grounds Newman's works in the places, cultures, and networks of relationships in which he lived. Part two looks at the thinkers who shaped his own thought, while the third part engages critically and appreciatively with themes in his writings. Part four examines how those themes have shaped conversations in the churches and the academy. This Handbook will serve as an important resource to critical and appreciative exploration of the person, writings, controversies, and legacy of Newman.

The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman Reviews

This important book indeed tells us an awful lot about the influential and complex contributions of a man who arguably changed the history of the modern Anglican and Roman communions. * Robert M. Andrews, Anglican and Episcopal History *
Aquino and King are to be congratulated on having resisted the urge to mould the work into any particular overarching narrative; in their own words, 'the volume reflects a broad range of perspectives and methodological assumptions to move all towards deeper understanding' ... This volume amply reaffirms that in the sheer diversity of the strands of his scholarship, writing, and thought, John Henry Newman remains a man for all seasons. * Journal of Theological Studies *
Newman remains a controversial figure, but this volume provides a humane and balanced account of his legacy, not only as a theologian who has made a significant contribution to both the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church, but also as a philosopher, as an educationalist, and as a literary figure. These essays bear patient study, and they will certainly stimulate further research on John Henry Newman in the years to come * William Lamb, Newman Studies Journal *
The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman gathers together some of the most distinguished writers on Newman, as well as some younger scholars, and the balance refuses any single, partisan perspective. the Handbook's scholarly contribution is both original and significant . . . while it does indeed remain to be seen what our current period might take from Newman, we may at least say with grateful confidence that The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman will shape and inform his reputation for many years to come. * The Journal of British Catholic History *
Gathers together some of the most distinguished writers on Newman, as well as some younger scholars, and the balance refuses any single, partisan perspective ... the Handbook's scholarly contribution is both original and significant ... The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman will shape and inform his reputation for many years to come. * Michael D. Hurley, British Catholic History *
The 26 chapters in the Handbook demonstrate that Newman's contribution in the fields of education, history, literature, philosophy, and theology is certainly compelling ... OUP keeps delivering these scholarly books by many hands to the highest of standards. With 600 pages, and large pages at that, it is worth every penny. * Dr Michael Wheeler, Church Times *
The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman is exceptionally valuable for the understanding of its subject and also one of the finest volumes in the Oxford Handbooks series that I have yet encountered. It is almost uniformly excellent. * Paul Avis, Durham University and University of Exeter *
The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman is exceptionally valuable for the understanding of its subject and also one of the finest volumes in the Oxford Handbooks series that I have yet encountered. * Paul Avis, Honorary Professor, Department of Theology and Religion, Durham University and Honorary Research Fellow, Department of Theology and Religion, University of Exeter *
