A History of the Hebrew Monarchy with Afterthoughts: The Works of Francis William Newman on Religion - A Critical Edition

The Works of Francis William Newman on Religion: A Critical Edition preserves F. W. Newman's important contribution to the historical and moral criticism of biblical literature, as well as his challenging perspectives on institutional and national religion, the philosophy of religion, and practical religion and morality. This century has witnessed a growing academic interest in the religious thought of F. W. Newman, an interest that should be immensely encouraged by having the complete body of his religious writings readily accessible in a critical edition.

Francis William Newman (1805-1897), younger brother to Cardinal John Henry Newman, was arguably the leading expounder of pure Theism in nineteenth-century England. His academic attainments include occupying the Chair of Latin at University College, London, from 1846 to 1862, but he is, perhaps, better known for the breadth of his literary efforts on behalf of various social causes and legal reforms.
