The Via Media (middle way) represents a dialogue between the Evangelical Anglican, Anglo-Catholic, and Roman Catholic. Based on the edition of 1889 (with obvious errors and misprints slightly corrected), this is the first fully annotated volume of Newman's Anglican works. The text is supplemented with an introduction and appendices listing all the variant readings between the three editions of 1836, 1837, and the final edition. In addition, Weidner sets the original pagination of 1889 in the margin alongside the present text for quick reference to the uniform edition of the collected works.
John Henry Newman was a Roman Catholic priest and cardinal who converted to Roman Catholicism from Anglicanism in October 1845. In early life, he was a major figure in the Oxford Movement to bring the Church of England back to its Catholic roots.
Eventually his studies in history persuaded him to become a Roman Catholic. Both before and after becoming a Roman Catholic, he wrote a number of influential books.
