Important read for anyone who is Anglican but finds themselves drawn to Rome. I'm not really qualified to give a good review of this book, but will say this: know your church history and Anglican documents well before you read--for instance it's important to know the 39 Articles, or at least have access to them, so you understand what Newman was wrestling with before he wrote Tract 90 and later went to Rome.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0140433740, Paperback)

Once a well-known Anglican clergyman, Newman left his living in the 1840's, recanted his former criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and entered the priesthood. Framing his Apologia in reply to a grave and gratuitous slander made by Charles Kingsley, Newman produced one of the masterpieces of spiritual writing: honest, passionate, scrupulous and moving, this work is also a highly accomplished prose paradigm.
