Apologia Pro Vita Sua

"A highly influential figure in the Church of England, John Henry Newman stunned the Anglican community in 1843, when he left his position as vicar of St. Mary's, Oxford, to join the Roman Catholic church. Perhaps no one took greater offense than Protestant clergyman Charles Kingsley, whose scathing attacks against Newman's faith and honor inspired this brilliant response. Apologia Pro Vita Sua, Newman's spiritual autobiography, explores the depths and nature of Christianity with flowing prose and a conversational style that has ensured its status as a classic."

The nation had initially tried universal suffrage, but the result was unsatisfactory. It seemed to deliver all power into the hands of the ignorant and non-tax-paying classes. A remedy was sought, and an ingenious idea emerged: not to destroy universal suffrage but to enlarge it selectively. An amendatory clause was inserted, allowing the suffrage to be enlarged in certain cases specified by statute. Property, character, and intellect wielded political influence for the first time, and the best men in the nation became candidates for parliament.

The Bondage of the Will

"First published in 1525, Martin Luther's 'Bondage of the Will' is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther's response to Desiderius Erasmus's 'Diatribe on Free Will, ' written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty. For Luther, this key issue of free will is directly connected to God's plan of salvation. Is man able to save himself, or is his salvation entirely a work of divine grace? This work is vital to understanding the primary doctrines of the Reformation and will long remain among the great theological classics of Christian history."
