The Everyman Chesterton
Overview: The first one-volume reader of the best of G.K. Chesterton's writing in the full range of genres he mastered. Chesterton was a towering literary figure of the early twentieth century, accomplished and prolific in many literary forms. A forceful proponent of Christianity and a critic of both conservatism and liberalism, he set out to describe nothing less than the spiritual journey of humanity in Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man, his most enduring books. He is famous as well for his beloved Father Brown detective stories, his satirical and comic verse, his profoundly witty paradoxes and aphorisms, and his penetrating studies of such figures as Charles Dickens, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Thomas Aquinas. The Everyman Chesterton contains samples of his poems, stories, essays, and biographies, as well as the influential works of religious, political, and social thought in which he championed the common man and for which he is most admired.

Two Essays on Biblical and on Ecclesiastical Miracles
In the preceding month he had completed another article for the Encyclopaedia on \"The Life of Apollonius Tyaneus, with a Comparison of the Miracles of Scripture and Those Elsewhere Related\"; Apollonius was a neo-Pythagorean philosopher credited with many miracles that Newman consigned to the category of magic. Since the latter also is sacred history, there is an expectation that miracles are likely to occur.

Apologia pro Vita Sua and Six Sermons
R. W Church, a participant in the Oxford movement and its first historian, agreed with Newman, saying, The Apologia is the history of a great battle against Liberalism, understanding by Liberalism the tendencies of modern thought to destroy the basis of revealed religion... [...] he confided his alarm to his two closest friends, Frederic Rogers and Henry Wilberforce.

The Old Enemies: Catholic and Protestant in Nineteenth-Century English Culture
John Lingard's ground-breaking History of England, a model of fairness and moderation, was turned down by two Catholic publishers and accepted by a Protestant one; significantly, it was used as his main source by the Protestant historical novelist, William Harrison Ainsworth, who preached toleration. Even Kingsley, with his pathological hatred of Catholicism, allows us to glimpse in his fiction what Wheeler calls that \"mixture of conscious repulsion and unconscious attraction that characterized the response of many Victorian Protestants to Roman Catholicism.\"

Ethos and the Oxford Movement: At the Heart of Tractarianism
[...] Pereira rightly disagrees with Peter Nockles and other revisionist historians that the Tractarians played down the High Church tradition that they inherited and exaggerated their own claims, but rather argues, \"The Oxford Movement helped create a new image of High Churchmanship, one which involved a more complete and coherent doctrinal structure than it ever had before\" (p. 45). [...] he questions whether such vitality and revival as the historical revisionism of Nockles and others points to were \"weighty and widespread enough to counterbalance the negative\" aspects of Anglicanism in the decades before the Oxford Movement (p. 60).
