AT a joint meeting of the Manchester Egyptian Association and the Manchester Oriental Society, held on October 14, 1912, it was decided to amalgamate the two bodies. It was resolved at the same time if possible to continue the publica- tion of a Journal. An appeal was made for Journal Members and for donations to a Special Publications Fund. The response to this appeal and the promise of support from the Publications Committee of the University have been such that a second number of the Journal now makes its appearance with the title The Journal of the Manchester Egyptian and Oriental Society, and there is good reason to hope that the publication is now firmly established. The Manchester Egyptian Association, which was estab- lished in 1906, has published an annual Report since 1909. In 1912 the Manchester Oriental Society published a Journal in which papers read at its meetings and articles written specially for the Journal were printed. The present Journal represents a combination of special features in the publica- tions of the two parent bodies. It contains, as the Report of the Manchester Egyptian Association always has done, a X. fairly full account of the Proceedings of the Session and, appended to this and other information, specially written articles such as the Journal of the Oriental Society con- tained. In borrowing the most useful features from the periodical publications of the two parent bodies, the new Journal, we venture to think, has increased its interest and value. One omission perhaps needs a few words of explanation. The Report of the Egyptian Association contained a list of books on Egyptology. A list of books both Oriental and Egyptological would be too long to print in the Journal at present. We have decided, therefore, since members of the Association have found the list of books on Egyptology of great service, to print it separately, without adding at present a list of Oriental books. Our justification for this course is that, whereas lists of books on Egyptology are rare, good lists of Oriental books may be found in a number of well known Journals. M. A. CANNEY. THE UNIVERSITY, MANCHESTER, 30th September, 1913. OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY. (i.) To discuss questions of interest with regard to the lan- guages, literatures, history and archaeology of Egypt and the Orient. (ii.) To help the work of the excavating societies in any way possible. (iii.) To issue, if possible, a Journal. If this is not possible, to print at least a Report, including abstracts of the papers read at the meetings of the Society. 1 SUBSCRIPTIONS.

REPORT OF THE MANCHESTER EGYPTIAN P ORIENTAL SOCIETY 1913 POSITION OF THE SOCIETY AT END OF SESSION 1912-13. TEN meetings were held during the session, the result of amalgamation being to increase the number. The experiment of advertising the meetings very freely was made, but the attendance does not justify the continuance of the increased expenditure in another session. The number of members is 107. We have to deplore the death of one member, Mr. Walter L. Behrens. There have been six resignations, chiefly caused by departures from the neighbourhood. We are now deprived of the presence and help of Professor R. M. Burrows by his acceptance of the post of Principal of King's College, London, but he has accepted the position of a Vice-President of our body, and continues to take an interest in our proceedings (see page 24f). Eighteen persons have joined since last October. At the joint meeting of the Manchester Egyptian Associa- tion and the Manchester Oriental Society, which decided in 4 REPORT " favour of amalgamation, the name resolved on was the Man- chester Egyptian and Oriental Association." It was found later that this title was unacceptable to many members of the Council, some of whom had been unavoidably prevented from attending the joint meeting.

    The Theological Reception of the Book of Isaiah in the Nineteenth-Century Church of England By Robert Lewis Knetsch 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 Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Robert L. Knetsch 2013 THE THEOLOGICAL RECEPTION OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH IN THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY CHURCH OF ENGLAND Robert Lewis Knetsch Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Faculty of Theology, University of St. Michael’s College 2013 Abstract This study considers the matter of “theological exegesis” in the context of a divided Church. For the purpose of specificity, I direct attention to the nineteenth-century Church of England and the book of the Prophet Isaiah serves as the exegetical focal point for analyzing various commentators. The terminus a quo is a rather straight-forward one: in what sense does the practice of reading Scripture become fundamentally re-defined within a frangible ecclesial reality? This project takes a novel approach to the reception-history of Isaiah and to the many changes that attended theological exegesis since the Reformation. I challenge the prevailing view that new historical-critical methods precipitate from external pressures on a Church unable to keep abreast of new discoveries. I argue, instead, that the emergence of such methodologies is the consequence of warring ecclesial factions. Thus, nineteenth- century exegetical strategies arise from the conflicts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Restricting my purview to the Church of England and English Roman Catholicism, I consider the three well known parties within the former: Low Church Evangelicals, Broad Church liberal-minded exegetes, and the old High Church party.
