Receptions of Newman de Frederick D. Aquino

Receptions of Newman

Editat de Frederick D. Aquino, Benjamin J. King
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 sep 2015
Over the past two centuries, few Christians have been more influential than John Henry Newman. His leadership of the Oxford Movement shaped the worldwide Anglican Communion and many Roman Catholics hold him as the brains behind reforms of the Second Vatican Council. His life-story has been an inspiration for generations and many commemorated him as a saint even before he officially became the Blessed John Henry Newman in 2010. His writings on theology, philosophy, education, and history continue to be essential texts. Nonetheless, such a prominent thinker and powerful personality also had detractors. In this volume, scholars from across the disciplines of theology, philosophy, education, and history examine the different ways in which Newman has been interpreted. Some of the essays attempt to rescue Newman from his opponents then and now. Others seek to save him from his rescuers, clearing away misinterpretations so that Newman's works may be encountered afresh. The 11 essays in Receptions of Newmans show why Newman's ideas about religion were so important in the past and continue to inform the present.

Recenzii

Not only was Newman voluminous in his own writings, but his commentators have been equally extensive in their attempts to explain him to succeeding generations. And therein lies one of the difficulties so admirably tackled by the contributors to this collection . ... Each and every essay in this collection adopts both a rigorous academic methodology, and also finds things of interest and originality to present to the reader, whether that reader comes from a historical, theological or philosophical background.
Though formally delimited by the category of reception, the range of issues discussed in Receptions of Newman - as filtered through the themes of development, belief, education, revelation, and sanctity - is impressively wide. In their accounts of conflicting historical, philosophical, and theological assessments of John Henry Newman, the authors testify to his work's substantive originality, enduring influence, and contestability.
This edited volume provides a well textured examination of the various receptions of John Henry Newman's work... This fresh encounter opens up new possibilities for reading Newman. Further, it contributes to deepening scholarship on Newman in particular and on the Oxford Movement more broadly... The conversation found within this collection both deepens and complicates an understanding of Newman in a way that should prove fruitful for future scholarship.
The editors do a superb job of selecting key Newman texts, areas, and topics that will inform Newman scholarship and advance understanding of his abiding influence. It is original, stimulating, and exhibits high quality writing and research. The volume's rich historical and theological research on the receptions of key texts and Newman's thought in periods and countries is fascinating ... it is essential reading for Newman scholars and a robust contribution to Newman studies.
The volume is a useful overview of receptions or interpretations of some key Newman works, showing also how he is still influential in diverse fields of enquiry and praxis. The editors deserve our gratitude for it.
Overall, the contributions included in this anthology deserve a readership well beyond Newman specialists. The quality of the texts and the interpretations put forward testifies to the strength of Newman-studies today.
Newman is an amorphous figure open to widely divergent interpretation. This excellent and readable volume, which is the first to deal specifically with Newman's reception by his contemporaries and later generations, candidly presents these divergences.
