This is the second volume in which John Henry Newman collected together articles which he had written as an Anglican during the Oxford Movement and revised and republished as a Catholic in 1871. All but one are from the years immediately leading up to his conversion to the Catholic Church in 1845, thus giving a fascinating snapshot of the movement of his mind at this crucial period. The final essay was his first published article as a Catholic in 1846 in which he appeals to other members of the Oxford Movement to recognise where their Catholic theology should lead them - to Rome. The Editor has provided a detailed Introduction to each Essay, comprehensive footnotes to the text, explaining Newman's numerous historical and other references, and a Textual Appendix giving all the variants between the original 1840s texts and Newman's 1871 revisions.

Autorenporträt
John Henry Newman, the author of "Loss and Gain," was a significant figure in 19th-century religious thought and a prominent member of both the Anglican and Catholic Churches. Born on February 21, 1801, in London, Newman initially pursued a career in the Church of England, becoming a leading figure in the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive the Catholic aspects of Anglicanism. Newman's intellectual journey led him to profound religious reflections and writings. He was a gifted theologian, preacher, and writer, known for his deep scholarship and eloquence. After converting, Newman was ordained as a Catholic priest and later founded the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham. He continued his theological work, contributing to various aspects of Catholic education and thought. His notable works include "Apologia Pro Vita Sua," an autobiographical defense of his religious opinions, and "Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine," which explores the process of doctrinal development in the Church. "Loss and Gain," published in 1848, is Newman's first novel and reflects his own experiences and struggles with religious conversion. The novel explores themes of faith, doubt, intellectual struggle, and the search for truth, mirroring Newman's own journey from Anglicanism to Catholicism. In recognition of his contributions to theology and the Church, Newman was elevated to the rank of cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. He continued to write and engage in theological discourse until his death on August 11, 1890. Newman's legacy endures through his extensive writings and his influence on both Anglican and Catholic thought. He was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church on October 13, 2019, affirming his lasting impact on Christian theology and spirituality.
