Newman

Newman (1983) by Owen Chadwick – Crappy Old Books Edition

Step into the mind of one of the 19th century’s most enigmatic religious figures with Newman, Owen Chadwick’s masterful biography of John Henry Newman. First published by Oxford University Press in 1983, this compelling volume charts Newman’s extraordinary journey from Anglican reformer to Roman Catholic cardinal, blending rigorous scholarship with vivid storytelling.

Owen Chadwick, one of Britain’s most respected church historians, brings depth, nuance, and clarity to Newman’s spiritual struggles, theological writings, and the cultural tremors of Victorian England. Whether you’re a seasoned scholar or a curious reader drawn to tales of conscience and conviction, Newman is a quietly powerful study of belief, doubt, and transformation.

This well-worn but charmingly serviceable copy from Crappy Old Books may have seen better days—but like Newman himself, it’s full of intellectual grit and enduring relevance. Slightly foxed pages, a dog-eared cover, and a smell of damp nostalgia included free of charge.

Like new. Hard back with dust cover.
