John Henry Newman fut une figure marquante du XIXe siècle, réputé pour ses profondes contributions théologiques et littéraires. D'abord universitaire et prêtre de l'Église d'Angleterre, il acquit une renommée en tant que leader du Mouvement d'Oxford, prônant la réincorporation des traditions catholiques dans l'anglicanisme.

L'héritage durable de Newman réside dans ses analyses pénétrantes de la foi, de la raison et de l'Église, ainsi que dans sa prose éloquente et ses hymnes largement appréciés.
