The novel employs rich, evocative prose that reflects Newmans theological insights and aesthetic sensibilities, inviting readers into the nuanced lives of its characters. Through the lens of the titular character, Callista, Newman delves into the complexities of pagan versus Christian worlds, offering a profound commentary on the transformative power of love and belief in an age of religious turbulence. John Henry Newman, a prominent theologian, and philosopher of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by his conversion from Anglicanism to Catholicism. This personal journey informed much of his work, including "Callista," as he sought to articulate the beauty and depth of faith amidst the societal challenges of his time. His academic background, coupled with his passion for eloquent expression, enables Newman to create a richly layered story that resonates on both emotional and intellectual levels. As much a work of theological reflection as a historical novel, "Callista" is highly recommended for those interested in early Christian history and the philosophical discourse surrounding faith. Newmans lyrical prose and deep insights into human nature make it a compelling read for both scholars and general readers alike, enriching ones understanding of the spiritual challenges faced in a rapidly changing world.</p>...744165Callista : a Tale of the Third Century4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/callista-a-tale-of-the-third-century-2/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1362669/ebb8f22e-3ef6-4562-b474-468688730309.jpg?v=638443501892300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547313755_W3siaWQiOiIyOTNiYzVlMi1lNDQzLTQ4YTEtYWUxNy1kMzYyOTMxYzNjY2UiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMzBUMjA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547313755_<p>Callista is a novel by the English Catholic theologian, priest and writer St John Henry Newman. It is set in the mid-3rd century in the city of Sicca Veneria in the Roman province of Africa. It deals with the persecution of the Christians community under Emperor Decius. The main character of the novel is Callista, a young and beautiful Greek girl, who has arrived from Greece some years previously with her brother Aristo; they work for Agelliuss uncle Jucundus, carving statues of pagan gods. She is a gifted young woman, yet she is unhappy with her life. Another main character is the troubled young Christian Agellius, who wants to marry Callista. He is torn between his faith and his brother (Juba), his stepmother Gurta, a pagan witch, and his pagan uncle Jucundus, who all want to bring him away from the Christian faith. Agellius soon meets the mysterious Christian priest Caecilius (later identified as St. Cyprian of Carthage), who becomes a father figure for him and strengthens his faith again.</p>...(*_*)8596547313755_<p>In "Callista: A Tale of the Third Century," John Henry Newman artfully weaves a narrative set against the backdrop of early Christian Rome, exploring themes of faith, identity, and moral struggle.
