My Campaign in Ireland Volume I

Beschreibung

This volume of John Henry Newman's Catholic University papers, collected and arranged by his private secretary William Neville, was printed for private circulation in 1896, six years after Newman's death. Since then, it has only been reproduced in facsimile. My Campaign in Ireland, Part I brings together all the most important documents penned by Newman in his efforts to establish a Catholic university in Ireland. As founding rector, Newman was fully involved in every aspect of the university from 1854, when it opened, until 1858, when he resigned. The discourses he composed in 1852, to prepare for the university's foundation, form the first half of The Idea of a University, Newman's great classic work on education; but the foundational documents in My Campaign in Ireland, Part I demonstrate how he was able to turn theory into practice in adverse circumstances. Filling out Newman's vision of education, they show how he should also be esteemed for his practical contribution to education. While these university papers are a treasure for anyone alive to Newman's educational genius, they contain an additional item that gives the collection a special significance: Discourse V which Newman omitted from the Idea. This volume is the first critical edition of My Campaign in Ireland, Part I. The editor, Newman scholar Paul Shrimpton, provides an introduction and comprehensive footnotes. These elucidate the significance of the volume's various documents by providing a historical context for Newman's educational endeavours in Dublin. In addition, English translations have been supplied for documents that were originally in Latin.

Autor

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.
