In this gripping novel of faith and persecution, Bl. Newman tells the story of Callista, a young pagan woman, loved by a Christian man, who is posed with a choice between denying Christ or professing faith and the highest cost.   Writing as both a convert and a scholar of the early Church, Newman presents his reader with a rich and challenging story, deeply personal and also highly informative in its representation of early Christian life amid pagan society, in its divine raptures and earthly pains.  This edition features the original text of Newman’s novel along with additional notes by Søren Filipski (MA, Franciscan University of Steubenville) providing explanations of various terms in Latin and other ancient languages that appear throughout the text.
