John Henry Newman: In His Time / Edited by Philippe Lefebvre & Colin Mason

"In John Henry Newman: In His Time, editors Philippe Lefebvre and Colin Mason have drawn together an anthology of essays which seek to provide a more nuanced account of the context in which Newman found and lived out his unique vocation. The essays have been written by a variety of pre-eminent scholars from around the world - fifteen in total - having in common an interest and expertise in Newman's life and work....

All chapters are thoroughly researched and annotated with footnotes, and the final chapter on the cause for Newman's declaration as Doctor of the Church is complemented by two appendices: one comprising a detailed list of currently declared Doctors; the other providing a full translation of the Norms and Criteria upon which Doctoral proclamation depends."
