Cardinal Henry Edward Manning (1808-92) was a major figure of the nineteenth- century Church. This book follows his intellectual formation and development from his early years and Anglican ministry, through his conversion to Catholicism to his subsequent role at the First Vatican Council. This is an area of research that has hitherto attracted little attention, a neglect which is surprising given the significant role that Manning played in many of the most important ecclesiastical events of his time. As well as setting Manning’s ideas against their historical background, the events in which he was involved and those which influenced his thought or upon which he exerted his influence, James Pereiro examines the deep personal crisis, both ideological and emotional, that he experienced. His study is based on a thorough research into Manning’s published works and manuscript sources, many of them previously unused.A fine intellectual biography of Manning.Eamon Duffy, The TabletThis volume is a witness to a greatness discerned and understood.Sheridan Gilley, Church TimesThis is an exceptional study of an exceptional man.John R.
