Autor

John Philip Newman, primarily recognized as a religious figure and author, was a notable nineteenth-century American Methodist Episcopal clergyman, who served not just within ecclesiastical roles but also contributed to political and social discourse. Born on September 1, 1826, in New York, Newman's religious influence culminated with his appointment as a bishop in 1888. His prominence is not restricted to his ecclesiastical standing, as his literary contributions extend to addresses and writings that tackled social and national themes relevant to his times. One of his works, 'America for Americans!' resonates with his patriotic spirit and reflects on the nation's values whilst echoing the sentiment of American exceptionalism and manifest destiny that was prevalent during that era. This book, among others, showcases Newman's prose, which is marked by its forthright style and an underlying evangelistic fervor that aims to align national pride with Christian ethics. Throughout his career, Newman's orations and written works often intersected with his religious missions, attempting to advocate for a society that upholds American ideals along with Christian moral virtues. Scholars examining the period's religio-nationalistic literature would find significance in Newman's oeuvre, as it provides insight into the dialogue between faith and national identity during a formative period in American history.
