This is the first major anthology of Newman's writings to appear for many years. Unlike most Newman anthologies, it covers the full range of his achievement, both as a major Victorian writer and as a Christian thinker of universal significance. It is divided into five sections focusing on the educator, the philosopher, the preacher, the theologian, and the writer. There is a particular need for such a comprehensive volume of selections from works which are so voluminous and which are now mostly out of print. The fact, too, that Newman is the most unsystematic of thinkers means that his thought is scattered through his writings, most of which were `occasional' in their origin. This anthology also makes available some of Newman's finest writing, much of which is virtually unknown. This book is intended for students and scholars of religion and theology, philosophy, English literature, history, and ecclesiastical history; the general reader.
