Loss and Gain

In this deeply personal novel, one of the great religious minds of the nineteenth century tells the story of a young man's quest for truth. Set against the backdrop of Oxford's intellectual and religious ferment, Loss and Gain follows Charles Reding as he navigates friendship, doubt, and the painful loss of his former certainties. Newman's only novel, it remains a moving exploration of conscience, faith, and the cost of following one's convictions. This modern edition presents the entire text in clear, accessible English while remaining faithful to the original's meaning and spirit. The language has been gently updated for today's reader, inviting new audiences into the timeless questions of belief, identity, and spiritual growth. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
