Inhaltsangabe

Michael Ffinch's book is a vivid portrait of a powerful personality. It concentrates on the dramatic period of John Henry Newman's involvement with the Tractarians, and the impact of his conversion to Roman Catholicism on English society, leading up to the giving of his famous "Second Spring" sermon in 1852. That sermon marked the moment when the Catholic hierarchy was re-established after a long suppression, and the beginnings of a Catholic revival that continues to bear fruit in England and America today. Why did Newman convert? What questions does his life still pose to Anglicans? The challenge Newman represents is as real now as it was in the last century, and the problem of relations between Christians will remain unsolved until it is squarely faced.
