This novel about a young man's intellectual and spiritual development was the first
work John Henry Newman wrote after entering the Roman Catholic Church in 1845. The
story describes the perplexing questions and doubts Charles Reding experiences while
attending Oxford. Though intending to avoid the religious controversies that are being
heatedly debated at the university, Reding ends up leaving the Church of England and
becoming a Catholic. A former Anglican clergyman who was later named a Catholic cardinal,
Newman wrote this autobiographical novel to illustrate his own reasons for embracing
Catholicism
