He became a cardinal in 1879.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween 1833 and 1845 Newman, now best known for his autobiographical \u003ci\u003eApologia Pro Vita Sua \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Idea of a University, \u003c\/i\u003ewas the aggressive leader of the Tractarian Movement within Oxford University. Newman, along with John Keble, Richard Hurrell Froude, and E. B. Pusey, launched an uncompromising battle against the dominance of evangelicalism in early Victorian religious life. By 1845 Newman’s radically outspoken views had earned him censure from Oxford authorities and sharp criticism from the English bishops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeparting from previous interpretations, Turner portrays Newman as a disruptive and confused schismatic conducting a radical religious experiment. Turner demonstrates that Newman’s passage to Rome largely resulted from family quarrels, thwarted university ambitions, the inability to control his followers, and his desire to live in a community of celibate males.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54220197921112,"sku":"9780300173093","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300173093__676f3157f0d6d.jpg?v=1741158462","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/john-henry-newman-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
