• Even before the publication of his masterwork, John Henry Newman had been regarded as one of the most important religious thinkers on the 19th Century.
• His decision in 1945 to leave his Anglicanism behind and convert to the Roman Catholic faith was one that rocked the Victorian establishment at a time when virulent anti-Catholic feeling ran high.
• It was in response to one particularly vicious attach by the Reverend Charles Kingsley that Newman wrote his Apologia Pro Vita Sua.
• A humane and vivid account of the development of his ideas and his faith and a passionate defence of both, the book remains a landmark work of Victorian literature and autobiography and one that continues to resonate to this day.
