John Henry Newman, one of the towering figures of the early Victorian Church of England, caused shock and outrage in equal measure when he announced his espousal of Roman Catholicism in 1845. His "Apologia", written nearly twenty years later in response to a scurrilous public attack by Charles Kingsley, is a superbly crafted response to those who criticized his actions and questioned his motives, and traces his spiritual development since boyhood, his close involvement in the high church Tractarian Movement and his agonizing decision to reject the church he had been born into. Ostensibly an autobiography and a speech for the defence, the "Apologia" transcends self-justification to explore the very nature of Christianity and its place in the modern age.

OTHER DESTINATIONS
St Pauls is sad to announce that we can no longer ship orders to EU countries, including the Republic of Ireland. Customers in the Republic of Ireland can visit our Irish website - www.stpauls.ie - for St Pauls located in Maynooth, Co. Kildare. You can also email enquiries to them at sales@stpauls.ie. With Great Britain's exit from the EU customs union, deliveries to the EU became increasingly unreliable to the point where we, reluctantly, had to cease trading with European customers. If you are located outside of the UK and EU and you are interested in our products, please email us at sales@stpauls.org.uk for a quote on posting to your destination. After receiving a quotation from us, payment will be taken over the phone or by bank transfer prior to shipping. We would like to thank all our Irish and EU customers for their support over the years and we hope one day we can return to serving you all again."
VAT
All prices as set out on the website are inclusive of UK VAT (where applicable). Please note that books are VAT zero rated in the UK. Customers outside of the UK will be responsible, where necessary, for the payment of local VAT, import duties and customs handling charges at point of import.
CUSTOMS CHARGES (VAT, IMPORT DUTIES, CUSTOMS HANDLING CHARGES)
If you are ordering goods for delivery outside of the UK, your consignment may be subject to import duties/taxes, customs handling charges/fees and import VAT. ST PAULS has no control over these additional charges in relation to customs clearance in the country of destination, and, by placing your order, you are accepting responsibility for the payment of any additional duties, taxes or fees once the goods have reached their country of destination. ST PAULS recommends that—prior to placing an order— you check with your local customs officials or postal service for more information regarding all importation taxes and duties that may be applied to the goods you are about to import. As the customer, you will be the importer of record and responsible for any import VAT, duties and handling fees that may require payment before a carrier releases any goods destined to you.
