Reseña del libro "A Defense of One's Own Life: Apologia pro Vita Sua (en Inglés)"

A Defense of One's Own Life: Apologia Pro Vita Sua by John Henry (Cardinal) Newman. Apologia Pro Vita Sua (Latin: A defence of one's own life) is John Henry Newman's defence of his religious opinions, published in 1864 in response to Charles Kingsley of the Church of England after Newman quit his position as the Anglican vicar of St. Mary's, Oxford. Newman was already a recognised spiritual leader of over thirty year's standing, but not yet a Cardinal, when in 1864 he wrote the Apologia. He was London born, and he had, as many Londoners have had, a foreign strain in him. His father came of Dutch stock; his mother was a Fourdrinier, daughter of an old French Huguenot family settled in this country. The date of his birth, 21st of February 1801, relates him to many famous contemporaries, from Heine to Renan, from Carlyle to Pusey. Sent to school at Ealing-an imaginative seven-year-old schoolboy, he was described even then as being fond of books and seriously minded. It is certain he was deeply read in the English Bible, thanks to his mother's care, before he began Latin and Greek. Another lifelong influence-as we may be prepared to find by a signal reference in the following autobiography, was Sir Walter Scott; and in a later page he speaks of reading in bed Waverley and Guy Mannering when they first came out-"in the early summer mornings," and of his delight in hearing The Lay of the Last Minstrel read aloud. Like Ruskin, another nineteenth-century master of English prose, he was finely affected by these two powerful inductors. They worked alike upon his piety and his imagination which was its true servant, and they helped to foster his seemingly instinctive style and his feeling for the English tongue.

John Henry Newman (1801–1890) fue un teólogo, poeta y cardenal inglés, reconocido por su influencia en la vida intelectual y religiosa del siglo XIX. Nacido en Londres, se formó en Oxford, donde se convirtió en figura central del Movimiento de Oxford, que buscaba revitalizar la espiritualidad de la Iglesia Anglicana.

En 1845, tras una profunda reflexión teológica, se convirtió al catolicismo, lo que marcó un hito en su vida y en el pensamiento religioso británico. Fue ordenado sacerdote católico en 1847 y más tarde fundó el Oratorio de San Felipe Neri en Birmingham. En 1879, el papa León XIII lo creó cardenal, reconociendo su contribución a la teología y a la educación.

Newman defendió la importancia de la conciencia individual en la fe y escribió obras influyentes como Apología pro Vita Sua y The Idea of a University. Fue canonizado por el papa Francisco en 2019, siendo venerado como San John Henry Newman.
