Wiseman on Sacred Scripture and the authority of Church

Abstract

In the History of the Roman Catholic Church in England in the Nineteenth Century the names of four cardinals, Wiseman, Newman, Manning and Vaughan appear with a great frequency. There is no doubt that Newman was a theological giant. The bibliography on Newman is enormous. This does tend to have the effect of overshadowing the valuable contribution, although perhaps less brilliant, of ether English Catholics. This Doctoral Thesis arose from the desire to examine the contribution, if any, to the theological currents in Nineteenth-Century England, as to determine his place in these same currents of the writings of Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman.
