A Packet of Letters: A Selection from the Correspondence of John Henry Newman

Sugg, Joyce

This is the first major anthology of John Henry Newman's writings to appear in many years. Unlike most Newman anthologies, it covers the full range of Newman's achievement, both as a major Victorian writer, and as a Christian thinker of universal significance. Divided into five sections, the book focuses on Newman as educator, philosopher, preacher, theologian, and writer, presenting some of Newman's finest writing, much of which is virtually unknown or inaccessible.

John Henry Newman (1801-90) was brought up in the Church of England in the Evangelical tradition. An Oxford graduate and Fellow of Oriel College, he was appointed Vicar of St Mary's Oxford in 1828; from 1839 onwards he began to have doubts about the claims of the Anglican Church and in 1845 he was received into the Roman Catholic Church. He was made a Cardinal in 1879. His influence on both the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and the advance of Catholic ideas in the Church of England was profound. This volume covers a crucially important and significant period in Newman's life. The Church of England bishops' continuing condemnation of Tract 90 - plus Pusey's two-year suspension for preaching a university sermon on the Real Presence - are major factors in Newman resigning as Vicar of St Mary's, Oxford. His doubts about the Church of England are deeper and stronger than ever, and he is moving closer to Rome. William Lockhart's sudden defection to Rome in August 1843 precipitates his resignation. He preaches his final Anglican sermon, 'The Parting of Friends', and retires into lay communion at Littlemore. The first edition of University Sermons, including the celebrated sermon on theological development, virtually sells out within a fortnight.

The Letters and Diaries of John Henry Cardinal Newman

Historical

From 1824 to 1843 Newman was an active clergyman of the Church of England, entering the pulpit about 1,270 times during that period. Newman published 217 of the sermons which he wrote during those years; a further 246 sermons survive in manuscript form in the Archives of Birmingham Oratory--some only as fragments but the majority as full texts. This is the first of a projected five-volume edition of Newman's previously unpublished sermons. The texts have been transcribed accurately and clearly for ease of reading, with sufficient editorial comment to clarify their theological content and historical background.
