John Henry Newman was een vooraanstaand figuur uit de 19e eeuw, bekend om zijn diepgaande theologische en literaire bijdragen. Oorspronkelijk een academicus en priester van de Kerk van Engeland, verwierf hij nationale bekendheid als leider van de Oxford Movement, die pleitte voor de hernieuwde opname van katholieke tradities binnen het anglicanisme. Zijn intellectuele reis leidde hem tot bekering tot het katholicisme, waar hij een gewaardeerd kardinaal werd en een stichtende kracht achter het universitair onderwijs. Newmans blijvende nalatenschap ligt in zijn scherpe inzichten over geloof, rede en de Kerk, evenals in zijn welsprekende proza en zijn geliefde gezangen.
