"One of the most controversial figures of the nineteenth century, John Henry Newman (1801-1890) began his career as a priest in the Church of England but converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1845, becoming a cardinal in 1879." "Revising previous interpretations, this biography portrays Newman as a disruptive and confused schismatic conducting a radical religious experiment. Drawing upon an exhaustive exploration of primary sources, including Newman's own writings, contemporary pamphlets, journals, and newspapers, Frank M. Turner demonstrates that Newman's passage to Rome should be understood less in terms of his spiritual development than as an outgrowth of his personal frustrations - including quarrels with his brothers, thwarted university ambitions, inability to control his followers, and his desire to live in a community of celibate males."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
"The protagonist of this volume is not John Henry Cardinal Newman, whom many people regard as the father of the Second Vatican Council, whose name adorns Roman Catholic student societies on numerous North American college and university campuses as well as scores of websites, and the cause of whose sainthood has been pressed for some time."
