The book explores Newman's defense of Catholicism in the face of English Protestant opposition, focusing on his early works following his conversion. It highlights the direct arguments in "Difficulties of Anglicans" and "Present Position of Catholics," contrasting them with the more subtle responses found in his novels "Loss and Gain" and "Callista." These fictional narratives employ indirect rhetoric to address critiques from figures like Elizabeth Harris and Charles Kingsley, showcasing Newman's nuanced approach to theological debate.
