Scripture and Newman - A Living Book

The man who was to become the greatest Anglican theologian, apart from Richard Hooker, as well as the most important Catholic theologian of the nineteenth century, and who has often been called ‘the Father of the Second Vatican Council’ because of the ways in which he anticipated the Council in his writings, did not grow up in an intensely religious family. His parents were ordinary, typical members of the Church of England: they did not belong to the high-church tradition of the seventeenth century, nor had they been affected by the Wesleyan or Evangelical revival that was sweeping the Church of England.
