Publisher's Synopsis
Apologia Pro Vita Sua is a book written by John Henry Newman in 1865, which serves as a response to a pamphlet entitled ""What, Then, Does Dr. Newman Mean!"" The book is an autobiographical account of Newman's life, his religious beliefs, his conversion to Catholicism, and his defense of those beliefs against the accusations made in the pamphlet. Newman was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the 19th century, and his conversion to Catholicism caused quite a stir. The pamphlet that prompted his response was written by Charles Kingsley, a fellow clergyman, who accused Newman of being dishonest and insincere in his religious beliefs. In Apologia Pro Vita Sua, Newman provides a detailed account of his religious journey, from his early days as an Anglican priest to his conversion to Catholicism. He addresses the accusations made by Kingsley and defends himself against them, arguing that his beliefs were sincere and that he had always been honest about them. The book is considered a classic of English literature and an important work in the history of religious thought. It is written in a clear and engaging style and provides a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most influential religious figures of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
