  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Henry Newman
Newman occupies in the nineteenth century a position recalling that of Bishop Butler in the eighteenth.
Newman demanded proof; a correspondence ensued in which Kingsley referred to one of the Oxford Anglican sermons generally; he withdrew his charge in terms that left its injustice unreproved; and thus he brought on himself, in the pamphlet which his adversary published, one of the most cutting replies, ironical and pitiless, known to literature.
John Henry Newman thus continues in modern literature the Catholic tradition of East and West, sealing it with a martyr's faith and suffering, steadfast in loyalty to the truth, while discerning with a prophet's vision the task of the future.

 John Henry Cardinal Newman's Importance & Influence
John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) was a (if not the) leading figure in the Church of England prior to his conversion to Catholicism in 1845; a scholar at Oxford who possessed brilliant speaking and writing abilities.
Newman was a national figure; he had been, and still was to some extent, the leader of a party; he had been converted to Rome when conversion to Rome was a thing almost unheard of, and the blow had struck England like a catastrophe of nature.
Newman himself, with almost prophetic vision, was convinced that he was working and suffering for the defence and affirmation of the cause of religion and of the Church not only in his own time but also in the future.

 Island of Freedom - John Henry Newman
Newman began to read systematically the Fathers of the Church and under their influence moved from his earlier evangelicalism to a more catholic ecclesiology, in which he was also encouraged by the influence of Keble and Froude.
Because of his disagreement with Cardinal Henry Manning over the wisdom of promulgating the doctrine of papal infallibility--Newman did not oppose the doctrine per se--he fell out of favor with the Vatican in 1870, a favor that was only restored in 1879, when, at the insistence of English Catholics, Leo XIII made him cardinal.
Newman's thought was primarily formed by his Oxford classical education, which provided a significant Aristotelean shaping of his epistemology, and the Church Fathers, particularly the Alexandrian Fathers.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Meaning of National Apostasy: a Note on Newman’s Apologia
Newman scholars have frequently praised the Apologia for its literary and stylistic art, and ignored its highly detailed account of the friends and opponents that Newman encountered during his Anglican years.
Both Newman and Froude noticed Keble's departure from the apostolic ranks, and in the years after 1836 he was attributing many of his own ideas on the separation of church and state to Hurrell Froude.
What Newman discovered in the passing years was that there was no "hidden" apostolic church in England except in the folios of the Bodleian and that he was relying to an extreme degree on his own private judgment, the very idea that the Tractarians opposed, to determine what was Anglican "in the best sense".

 Amazon.com: The Idea of a University: Books: John Henry Cardinal Newman,Fred Williams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Newman's work is not only an eloquent, erudite, and careful defense of the virtue of knowledge and the value of a liberal education; it is also a brilliantly reasoned and felt argument for the prevention of hubris on the part of any particular branch of knowledge.
Newman is also careful to point out that the liberal arts and even theology may attempt to establish a single, inadequate framework for the discovery of truth.
Newman's complex epistemology does not fall prey to the heresy that truth is not one, but reminds us that in our present state, truth present various aspects and that the tyranny of any particular branch of knowledge is the victory of ignorance.

 Newman and the interpretation of inspired Scripture.(John Henry, Cardinal Newman)(Abstract) - Journal, Magazine, ...
One of the controversies that Newman faced, on the doctrine of the inspiration of Scripture, is particularly interesting for its function as a microcosm of the larger issues facing Christian thinkers in his day.
Here, Newman, in a brief section of the text, argues on the basis of a patristic distinction between a sign and a thing that historical criticism alone is insufficient for the uncovering of spiritual truth.
Then, the article explores Newman's Tract 85 of the Tracts for the Times, entitled "Lectures on the Scripture Proofs of the Doctrine of the Church" (May-August 1838); in this tract, Newman employs some of the insights of modern criticism to illustrate that Scripture alone is an insufficient basis for Christian doctrine.

In one lecture Newman was discussing with a Catholic audience in Birmingham the many absurd stereotypes that controlled the thinking of English Protestants about Catholics, and was advising his fellow Catholics on how to deal with these stereotypes.
Of course, Newman hopes that the personal influence exercised by Catholics will eliminate this situation by diminishing the Protestant stereotypes; then the dividedness of the Protestant mind would give way to an understanding of Catholicism based on the personal influence of individual Catholics.
Newman himself exercised powerfully the personal influence of which he speaks.
