About this ebook
Loss and Gain is a philosophical novel which depicts the culture of Oxford University in the mid-Victorian era and the conversion of a young student to Roman Catholicism. Charles Reding arrives at Oxford University planning to follow the advice and example of his father, and to submit to the teachings of the Church of England without becoming involved in any factious parties. To follow the right views, Reding seeks a source of Church authority, and is disappointed to find only party dissension and the Protestant doctrine of Private Judgment. He begins to have doubts about some aspects of his faith, giving him thoughts of conversion, which greatly excite and trouble him.

Relato útil e informativo para cualquier persona que esté interesada en entender mejor la conversión al catolicismo del ahora santo John Henry Newman. Sin embargo, siendo una novela "filosófica" (fundamentalmente una sucesión de diálogos de contenido teológico y doctrinal especializado) puede resultar muy densa para un lector o lectora que no tenga familiaridad con la vida y pensamiento del cardenal Newman y no domine el contexto religioso e intelectual de la Inglaterra de la época. Por el contrario, obra imprescindible para quienes quieran alcanzar un conocimiento detallado de su vida y/o del panorama religioso de su tiempo visto desde la perspectiva de un sacerdote anglicano convertido al catolicismo.
