5.0 out of 5 starsA Journey of Faith
By Mary E. Stevanus on October 7, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The book was written over a hundred-sixty years ago, but has a lot of information for those interested in Catholic theology and customs. Blessed John Henry (Cardinal) Newman was himself a convert to the Catholic Church at a time in England when there was considerable oppositional suspicion between members of the Church of England (Anglican) and the Catholic Church. Oxford, at that time, prepared future Anglican ministers and discouraged any divergence toward Catholic theology, ostracizing those who persisted in any "Romish" tendencies.

This book, a work of fiction, is a story of a young man studying at Oxford, finding himself persuaded by various situations toward the Catholic position, converting, and facing much opposition from family and friends in the process. Some say Newman's characters closely resemble his own journey of faith, and in some ways mirror the experiences of converts in our own time. It was good reading, especially for Catholics and those who inquire of the Catholic faith.

5.0 out of 5 starsLost and Found
By Gord Wilson VINE VOICE on February 4, 2016
Format: Paperback
I must begin with a brief caveat. While this Ignatius edition sounds excellent (and I'll probably get it later), the edition I'm reading is that in the Oxford World's Classics series, with an introduction by Alan G. Hill, which is also excellent. Prof. Hill notes that Loss and Gain was groundbreaking for a Victorian novel, in quite unexpected ways. If one is expecting some sort of dry intra-church tussle, of interest to, at best, a handful of clerics, dressed up as a tenth rate novel, one would be advised to look for that fiction elsewhere. In his advertisement (disclaimer) to the ninth edition, Newman wrote he was "desirous of dissipating the fog of pomposity and solemn pretence," by showing "that those who were smitten with love of the Catholic Church were nevertheless as able to write common-sense prose as other men."
Or perhaps better, as Newman was one of the best writers of his century. As Hill says, "The verve and gusto of the writing reveal an extraordinary grasp of colloquial English idiom" and "A genial, magnanimous tone is evident throughout." "Rich in comic scenes and characters". Who does that sound like? -Dickens, of course. It can also be read as a Victorian period piece, he notes, or for it's university setting. The school story that comes to mind, of course, is Tom Brown's School-Days. But surprise! Newman's novel (1848) predates Thomas Hugh's work, published in 1857.
It boggles the mind to imagine the smooth, lilting cadences and effortless prose of "Apologia Pro Vita Sua", Newman's non-fiction, autobiographical work transferred to a novel, but here it is. It is our loss if this novel has been lost to the reading public, but only gain when once again found.

5.0 out of 5 starsat great personal cost
By Greg Severn on July 11, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a fictional account of the choice of a college student at Oxford to convert to Catholicism, at great personal cost. In those days, only those endorsing the established church, the Anglican Church, could take a degree. Since the degree was a gateway to a career, the cost was quite high. One finds a review of protestant versus catholic views of Christianity, and in a thousand little ways, one is introduced to the times, and to an undergraduate education at Oxford.
