Published in 1864, John Henry Newman’s Apologia pro vita sua is one of the great works of Victorian prose and one of the most compelling spiritual autobiographies in the English language. Written in response to an attack by Charles Kingsley, it traces Newman’s intellectual and spiritual journey from his evangelical youth through his years as a leading figure in the Oxford Movement to his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1845.
Newman, who was beatified in 2010 and canonised in 2019, wrote with a clarity and emotional honesty that continue to move readers of all faiths. Download this free EPUB and read a masterpiece of self-examination and religious conviction.
