The Story of a Conversion
Arranged by Rayner Heppenstall from the novel by John Henry , Cardinal Newman
(1848)
For cast see Wednesday at 8.0
The Rev. John Henry Newman was finally converted to the Roman Catholic faith in 1845. His first literary work thereafter was this novel. It is not at all directly autobiographical, since the hero, Charles Reding , is presented as a young man at Oxford at the time when the Puseyites and the Tractarian movement were firmly established. The book was written as a reply in the same form to recent adverse fictional accounts of similar conversions.
