Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The canonisation of John Henry Newman in October 2019 has increased public and academic interest in him. A controversial figure during his own lifetime, John Henry Newman’s legacy remains contested by scholars. This conference will explore John Henry Newman as: A Scholar: Newman influenced the academic landscape during his lifetime through his time at Oriel, his academic foundations, and his published works.·A Sage: Newman gained a reputation for providing reliable and wise advice early in his career, which remained even after his reception into the Roman Church in 1845.·A Saint: Newman studied the lives of the saints and recommended them as exemplars of Christian behaviour. Newman’s work and life invites discussion on the relationship between sanctity and saintliness.
