Sanday (ed.): Different Conceptions of Priesthood and Sacrifice, 1900. 11 For a conservative, Reformed explication of this neglect, see L. Berkhof: Systematic Theology, 1969 Edn., p.366: see also T. W. Manson: Ministry and Priesthood : Christ's and ours, 1958, pp.30-31. 12 S.G. Sowers: The Hermeneutics of Philo and Hebrews, 1965, p.ll9, calls Christ's priesthood "an odd christological category to choose". See also J.C. McNeill: The Christology of the Epistle to the Hebrews, 1914, p.30; E.F. Scott: The Epistle to the Hebrews : Its Doctrine and Significance, 1922; F. Buchsel: Die Christologie des Hbfs., Gatersloh, 1922. 13 See Berkhof, loc.cit., and p.35 7. 14 Cf. K. Barth: The Epistle to the Romans 1975 edn., pp.159-160; see also id., Credo, 1935, Church Dogmatics, I.1-IV .4, 1936-77(ET); IV .3, for Barth's preference for the language of 'sonship' and 'sacrifice' to Christ's 'three­ fold office'. 15 Cf. L.S. Bernardin: The Intercession of our Lord, 1933, p.125. 16 Cf. denial that Hebrews contains a doctrine of the atonement is even found in conservative Reformed circles. See G. Vas: The Teaching of the Epistle to the Hebrews, J.G. Vas (ed.), 1956 p.ll7. 17 Useful studies of this material are found in: E. Burggaller: 'Neuere Untersuchungen zum Hebraerbrief', Thea~ Rund., 13 (1910), 369-381, 409- 417; E. Grasser: 'Der Hebraerbrief: 1938-63', Theol. Rund., 30 (1964), 138-236; F.F.

Parker (ed.): Essays in Christology for Karl Barth, 1956, pp.155-173. 21 Cf. W.M. Abbott (ed.): The Documents of Vatican II, 1967. See esp. Lumen Gentium and the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. Immediately before and since Vatican II the priesthood of Christ has been recovered as a major doctrinal and devotional theme in modern Roman Catholicism. A plethora of studies exist. Among the most extensive, important, or interesting are listed in the bibliography of L. Sabourin's: Priesthood, 1973, or in Grasser and Burgaller's reviews, see above n.17. 22 Among the better known twentieth century Anglican studies treating of the subject are: J.P. DuBose: High Priesthood and Sacrifice, 1908; A.J. Tait: The Heavenly Session of our Lord, 1912; S.C. Gayford: Sacrifice and Priesthood : Jewish and Christian, 1924; W.L.P. Cox: The Heavenly Priesthood of our Lord, 1929 and 1938; F.C.N. Hicks: The Fullness of Sacrifice, 1930. 23 Lit. 'the rule of belief'; pertaining to character and content of the Church's doctrinal understanding and expression. Cf. A.M. Ramsey: From Gore to Temple, 1960, p.164, where this is recognized viz-a-viz. the B.C.P.: "Among the half-conscious influences there is the influence which a Prayer Book inevitably has in a Liturgical Church. The lex orandi has its quiet and unobtrusive effect upon the lex credendi." 24 William Temple's Introduction to the Report on Doctrine in the Church of England, 1938, has become normative for this stance: -"there is not, and the majority of us do not desire that there should be, a system of distinctively Anglican theology." (op.cit., p.35); q. S.W. Sykes The Integrity of Anglicanism, 1978, p.55, where the position is critically examined. See also S.C. Neill: Anglicanism, 1958, p.417, ar:~d the discussion in M. Ramsey 'What is Anglican Theology?', Theol., 48 (1945), 2- 6. 25 For an analysis of seventeenth century Anglican theological method, see H.R. McAdoo: The Spirit of Anglicanism, 1965. 26 Cf. eg. W.J. Wolf (ed.): The Spirit of Anglicanism, 1982 and R. Holloway (ed.): The Anglican Tradition, 1984. 27 J.J.S.

See also id., The English Inheritance, 1950, p.ll: " ... to understand nineteenth century men and women and their doings, we must consider carefully not only their religious controversies, but also their great preachers and pious literature." 32 Cf. M.A. Crowther's justification of her study, Church Embattled: Religious Controversy in mid-Victorian England, 197b, p.9: " ... the minds of undistinguished men may reflect more accurately than the greater intellectuals the everyday problems of their time." 33 Cf. C. Dawson: The Spirit of the Oxford Movement, 1933, pp.v,3; where the need, for example, to study the Oxford Movement "for its own sake" is clearly stated. 34 J.E.

  • Darwin and Doubt and the Response of the Victorian Churches Churchman 100/4 1986
    Darwin and Doubt and the Response of the Victorian Churches Churchman 100/4 1986 Nigel Scotland The Bible and Nineteenth Century Christians Although the Victorian Era was seen as one of the high points in the practice of English Christianity, and although outwardly speaking Church attendance remained at a relatively high level, below the surface many people were beginning to express a variety of doubts about the inspiration of the Bible and about points of Christian doctrine which had been cherished for centuries. These doubts stemmed in the main from two sources: discoveries in Science and the development of Biblical Criticism. The former caused men to question the traditional explanation of world origins and the latter brought doubts regarding the traditional doctrine of the inspiration of scripture. The main root of the problem lay in the Churches’ view of the scriptures. The Church in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century held a view of the scriptures which had been taken over from Greek thought in the early Christian centuries and been further reinforced by the Reformation. They thought of God literally breathing the Scripture into the writers of the Biblical documents. The result of this was that the Bible was held to speak authoritatively on all matters whether they related to man’s relationship to God or to the scientific origins of the Universe. The ordinary Christian man and woman in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries regarded the Judaeo-Christian religion as an Historical religion. It concerned the story of God’s historical acts in relation to his people.

  • Notes on the Parish of Mylor, Cornwall

Uaunton BARNICOTT &- PEARCE, ATHEN^UM PRESS 1907 BARNICOTT AND PEARCE PRINTERS Preface. T is usual to write something as a preface, and this generally appears to be to make some excuse for having written at all. In a pre- face to Tom Toole and his Friends — a very interesting book published a few years ago, by Mrs. Henry Sandford, in which the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, together with the Wedgwoods and many other eminent men of that day figure,—the author says, on one occasion, when surrounded by old letters, note books, etc., an old and faithful servant remon- " " strated with her thus : And what for ? she " demanded very emphatically. There's many a hundred dozen books already as nobody ever reads." Her hook certainly justified her efforts, and needed no excuse. But what shall I say of this } What for do 1 launch this little book, which only refers to the parish ot Mylor ^ vi Preface. The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng- land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en- deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities.

    “That unhappy War of yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875 DAVID SOUTHERN Samuel Laurence (circa 1850) Photograph by Anthony Coningham Sterling Copyright © National Portrait Gallery, London AMUEL LAURENCE (1812–84), A PORTRAIT ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZED in literary figures both British and American, was possibly Sborn in Guildford, Surrey, beyond which, at least until recently, nothing was known of his parentage, his education, or any signal events from his formative years, except that at some point he changed the spelling of his last name from Lawrence. CSA 24 2008 6 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL He first exhibited his work in London in 1834 and moved easily in circles of London literati. On 10 August 1836, at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, he married Anastasia Gliddon, cousin and adopted sister of Katherine Gliddon and sister-in-law of Thornton Leigh Hunt. Perhaps as early as 1840 and certainly by 1844, the Laurences were participants in a “Bohemian Phalanstery” modeled upon the utopian philosophy of Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and it included Thornton and Katherine Hunt, George Henry Lewes, and Mary Ann Evans.1 James Spedding likely introduced Laurence to the Carlyles (see CL 29: 355), and at least ten letters to him from Thomas Carlyle (TC) and one from Jane Welsh Carlyle (JWC) can be found in the New York Public Library (Ray collection), the National Library of Scotland (NLS), the University of California Library, Santa Cruz (Strouse collection), and the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections at Duke University’s Perkins Library. To a letter from TC to his sister Jean Aitken, 6 July 1838, JWC added this piquant postscript: “—only think Carlyle is to have his picture taken again this time by an artist of genius—if it succeeds I mean to buy it of the man[.] It was I formerly that used to be asked to sit for pictures but every dog has its day” (CLO).

  • One of the Things We at RHMA Are Always Keeping an Eye out for Is a Well-Known Hymn That Just Happened to Have Been Written by a Small-Town Pastor!
    One of the things we at RHMA are always keeping an eye out for is a well-known hymn that just happened to have been written by a small-town pastor! We’ve made many such discoveries over the years, and thought we’d pretty much found them all. But then every once in awhile, up pops a new one! One of those discoveries was Henry Alford (1810-1871), a 5th generation British pastor. Henry was a precocious boy and before he was ten years old he had written several poems in Latin, a history of the Jews, and a series of homiletic outlines! He studied for the ministry at Trinity College, Cambridge, and at age 25 he became pastor of the parish church in the small town of Wymeswold (pop. 1250). Henry stayed there the next 18 years, though twice the Church of England tried to lure him away to be a bishop overseas. The small parish in Wymeswold had been neglected over the years, and Henry rebuilt it through door-to-door visitation to most everyone in the village. One of his major undertakings was adding a Sunday afternoon service which focused on expository sermons in which he Alford’s Greek Testament th taught through the books of the Bible. In about his 15 year Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) – “an invaluable aid to the critical study at Wymeswold, Henry began work on what is now known of the text of the New Testament.” (and still in print) as Alford’s Greek Testament. It took him a John Piper – “comes closer more dozen years to write it and it’s still considered a classic 150 consistently than any other human commentator to asking my kinds of years later.
