Recovering a Neglected Critical Tradition: The Victorian and Modernist Critique of Newman's Religious Apologetic and its Contemporary Significance
Short Description
Geertjan’s research centres on the religious apologetic of John Henry Newman (1801-1890) in the context of Victorian religion and culture.
