Name: Preface to the Third Edition of the Via Media (1877)
Author: John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman

Newman's long Preface of 1877 to the republished Via Media, written as a Catholic. He restates the Anglican theory of the Via Media, reviews the arguments of his Prophetical Office lectures and of the Letter to Pusey, and explains how the Church's threefold office as prophet, priest and king bears on Anglican claims, reprinting the Preface to Tract 71 and Tract 90 passages.
