{"product_id":"2940000829622","title":"Callista, a tale of the third century","description":"Classic historical novel, first published in 1855. According to Wikipedia: \"Venerable John Henry Newman, CO (21 February 1801 - 11 August 1890) was a Roman Catholic priest and cardinal, a convert from Anglicanism in October 1845. In his early life, he was a major figure in the Oxford Movement to bring the Church of England back to its Catholic roots.[1] Eventually his studies in history persuaded him to become a Roman Catholic. Both before and after becoming a Roman Catholic, he wrote influential books, including Via Media, Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine (1845), Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1865-66) and the Grammar of Assent (1870). His body was buried in the small cemetery at Rednal near Birmingham, next to the Oratory country house. The grave was opened on 2 October 2008, with the intention of moving any remains to a tomb inside Birmingham Oratory, during Newman's consideration for sainthood; however, no remains were found because of the coffin having been wooden and the burial having taken place in a damp site. Canonization would make Cardinal Newman the first English person who has lived since the 17th century to be declared a saint. In 1991 Cardinal Newman was proclaimed \"Venerable\" by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.\"","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144259354864,"sku":"2940000829622","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940000829622_p0.jpg?v=1763545787","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940000829622","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
