Apologia Pro Vita Sua: An Authoritative Text, Basic Texts of the Newman-Kingsley Controversy, Origin and Reception of the Apologia Essays in Criticism - Norton Critical Editions in the History of Ideas

Newman's eloquent defense of personal religious evolution.

If you're interested in theological debates and the journey of personal faith, "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" could be a compelling read for you. Newman's writing offers a profound look into the intellectual struggles and changes in perspective one may experience within their spiritual life, all set against the backdrop of a historic controversy. It's not just a narrative but an insight into a man's soul and his steadfast commitment to his convictions amidst public scrutiny.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Students will be able to place the Apologia in its proper intellectual context by examining it alongside other important documents from the Newman-Kingsley controversy included in this volume: correspondence, Kingsley's pamphlet, "What, Then, Does Dr. Newman Mean?"; Newman's pamphlets "Mr. Kingsley's Mode of Disputation" and "True Mode of Meeting Mr. Kingsley"; and Newman's two Appendices of 1866. The origin of the Apologia, its contemporary reception, and its present critical fortunes are discussed in studies by Martin J. Svaglic, Walter E. Houghton, Vincent Ferrer Blehl, Lewis E. Gates, Robert A. Colby, Leonard W. Deen, and David J. DeLaura. A Bibliography is included.
