They are, together with the Development of Christian Doctrine and the Grammar of Assent, one of the pillars of John Henry Newman's thought. This volume is the first critical edition of the Lectures, with a substantial Editor's Introduction, editorial footnotes explaining Newman's many scriptural, patristic and other references, together with translations of the many Latin and Greek passages he quotes, and a textual appendix showing Newman's revisions of his text in the editions he published.Newman's doctrine of justification is firmly grounded on the theology of the Fathers of the Church and their concept of 'deification'.
