John Henry Newman: Fifteen Sermons Preached Before the University of Oxford

James David Earnest is Professor of English Emeritus, Murray State University, Kentucky.Gerard Tracey, who died in 2003, was formerly Lay Archivist of the Birmingham Oratory. He edited volumes 6, 7, and 8 of The Letters and Diaries of John Henry Newman.

This superb critical edition not only sets Newman's University Sermons in the context of his own life and thought, and of the cultural acids that he saw so clearly were eating away at Christian culture; the detailed annotation and careful indexing provide future scholars with the tools to set Newman in context and identify his varying interlocutors. Editors and publisher are indeed to be congratulated.
