John Henry Newman bol vplyvnou postavou 19. storočia, známou svojím teologickým a literárnym dielom. Pôvodne akademický pracovník a kňaz anglikánskej cirkvi sa stal vodcovskou osobnosťou Oxfordského hnutia, ktoré sa usilovalo o návrat k mnohým katolíckym prvkom v anglikanizme. Jeho intelektuálna cesta ho nakoniec viedla k prestupu do katolíckej cirkvi, kde sa stal uznávaným kardinálom a zakladateľom univerzitného vzdelávania. Newmanov odkaz žije ďalej prostredníctvom jeho hlbokých pojednaní o viere, rozume a cirkvi, rovnako ako prostredníctvom jeho inšpiratívnych básní a piesní.
