John Henry Cardinal Newman 
Apologia Pro Vita Sua (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 
Being a History of His Religious Opinions

Published in 1865-66, this classic spiritual autobiography grew out of Newman’s desire to defend his Roman Catholic faith against what he saw as unjust criticisms and personal attacks leveled by the noted fantasist and Anglican clergyman, Charles Kingsley. His response transcends its cause, rising to sublime heights of literary and spiritual merit.
