Abstract

ABSTRACT Between the years 1835 and 1838, arguably at the height of his influence within the Church of England, John Henry Newman was involved in three revivals. As a Tractarian leader, (1) he encouraged the Anglican Communion to strengthen the laity by undertaking a Catholic revival, (2) he played a role in the Gothic architectural revival that (as he saw it) made concrete the Anglican divine Joseph Butler’s views on worship and belief, and (3) he used the theology of the early Church to help lay the foundations of a patristic revival. These three aspects of his Tractarian years are shown, in the conclusion, to be at work also in ‘On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine’ (1859), which has influenced the Catholic Church’s theology and practice.
