==========================================================

(a)--(Patrick) Continuie learning about Newman after this course. Options.

Our course is merely introductory. “In depth”:  only his life, three works CALLISTA, LOSS AND GAIN, “Lead Kindly Light.”  Then the gist of Newman’s major works. How can you follow up? First decide if Newman is worth more of your time. If so, read the two major works, APOLOGIA PRO VITA SUA, THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY. Read longer biographies.

Shall Montreat College/MCCALL schedule related follow-on courses?

(b)--(Patrick)  Use Newman-related expertise already among us.

One of our students is an expert on education and educational theory. Another has written a master’s thesis partially about Newman. Another is relating Newman to a philosophy course she is taking. Are there others among us who already have “views” of Newman. Share them with us!

(c)--(Patrick) Newman’s 1816 Conversion (completed)

Newman was only 15 in 1816 when he was “converted” to a life in which following God through Christ became his number one, all absorbing priority. What does it mean that its tone was “Calvinistic?” How much of his change was distinctively Calvinistic in substance as opposed to tone and overtone? A couple of beliefs endured: God is exalted and never to be treated lightly. God in Newman’s conscience is a real as Newman himself. God elected Newman to some great, as yet unspecified work.

(c)--(Mary) Newman’s Female Circles

 John Henry Newman is sometimes accused of misogyny. Not so fast! See how he learned from, taught, inspired, interacted with grandmother, aunt, mother, three sisters, a painter, novelists, nuns and others.

(d)-- Biography 1816-1832 (Sugg Videotape:11 minute sequence)

(e)--(Patrick) Newman’s novel LOSS AND GAIN. Click for lecture notes.

 LOSS AND GAIN (1848) lays the basis for easier reading of  both APOLOGIA PRO VITA SUA  and THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY. We focus on three young men (White, Willis and Reding, the hero) influenced by the Oxford Movement within the Anglican Church. We see two of them falling prey to the spy network set up by Evangelicals at Oxford to prevent conversions to Rome.
