The Theology of Henry Mansel Scripture, Skepticism and the Character of God: The Theology of Henry Mansel By Dane Neufeld A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright By Dane Neufeld 2015 Digital copy downloaded from http://anglicanhistory.org Scripture, Skepticism and the Character of God: The Theology of Henry Mansel. ThD, Wycliffe College, 2015. Dane Neufeld. Abstract Henry Mansel’s Bampton Lectures The Limits of Religious Thought have primarily been remembered both for their defense of orthodox Christianity and their unintended incorporation into the Agnostic philosophy of Herbert Spencer. But Mansel’s theology belongs more securely in the tradition of Anglican theology that combines a skepticism toward speculative theology and an intense devotion to the centrality of Scripture in the Church’s common life. Critics argued that Mansel’s skepticism and theory of regulative truth separated the reality of God from the language and narrative of Scripture. However, it can be argued that Mansel’s skepticism provides a context in which the entire canon of Scripture can speak truthfully and coherently about the character of God’s action in the world. Mansel’s theological skepticism provides a method for examining theological and philosophical frameworks that seek to encompass or improve the language of Scripture in order to ensure that the Scriptures themselves form the context through which the Church apprehends God and interprets reality. ii Table of Contents Introduction

  • 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.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

Is it more than the philosophy of God? and what, if anything, does it have to do with the various practical and moral issues which occupy us as human beings? We shall approach the subject in a manner which acknowledges the significance of these practical and methodological issues, and will consider questions such as the following. What is the relation between science and religion? Does it make sense to say that there is purpose in the natural world? How are we to understand the purpose of our human lives? What is the relation between spirituality and religion? Is God necessary for morality? What is religious experience? Is there anything problematic in the idea that we need to be saved? 121 items Key Texts (1 items) Philosophy of Religion: Towards a More Humane Approach - John Cottingham, 2014 Book | Essential Reading Topic 1: What is philosophy of religion?

  • Russell and the Cambridge Moral Sciences Club L by Jack Pitt
    Russell and the Cambridge Moral Sciences Club l by Jack Pitt IN HIS Autobiography Russell records his extreme satisfaction at being elected to the fraternal discussion group at Cambridge familiarly known as the Apostles. 2 In addition to including a number of congratulatory letters from elder Apostles, he writes: "The greatest happiness ofmy time at Cambridge was connected with a body whom its members knew as 'The Society,' but which outsiders, if they knew of it, called 'The Apostles.'''3 The sub­ sequent notoriety of this group obscured the fact that Russell I Gratitude is expressed to those at the University of Cambridge who kindly provided access to the Minutes of the Cambridge University Moral Sciences Club. The Minutes have been invaluable in constructing an historical context in which to locate Russell's participation in the Club, and in providing many details pertinent to that participation. 2 Its complete name is the Cambridge Conversazione Society. Its character and history is treated in Paul Levy's fascinating study, G. E. Moore and the Cam­ bridge Apostles (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1979). I am indebted to this book for many points of fact in this essay, especially as these concern members of the Society. The interested reader may also wish to consult Peter Allen's The Cambridge Apostles: The Early Years (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1978). 3 Autobiography, 1872-1914 (Boston: Atlantic-Little, Brown, 1967), p. 91. 103 104 Russell winter 1981-82 Russell and the Cambridge Moral Sciences Club 105 maintained membership in other Cambridge societies. for The Athenaeum.

They do not prove the real connection between the religious symbols and the everyday realities by logical demonstration, but by life. Solvitur ambulando, said someone about Zeno’s paradox, which proves the impossibility of physical motion. It is solved by walking. Solvitur immolando, says the saint, about the paradox of the logicians. It is solved by sacrifice. —Austin Farrer v ABSTRACT 1. A perennial (if controversial) concern in both theology and philosophy of religion is whether religious belief is ‘reasonable’. Austin Farrer (1904-1968) is widely thought to affirm a positive answer to this concern. Chapter One surveys three interpretations of Farrer on ‘the believer’s reasons’ and thus sets the stage for our investigation into the development of his religious epistemology. 2. The disputed question of whether Farrer became ‘a sort of fideist’ is complicated by the many definitions of fideism.
