This classic work explores the journey of John Henry Newman, one of the most important Christian thinkers of the 19th century, from his Anglican roots to his conversion to Catholicism. Rivington, himself a convert from Anglicanism, provides a sympathetic and insightful portrait of Newman and his intellectual and spiritual development. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the intellectual history of Europe.
