I have analysed his beliefs and his influence amongst the Brethren and the wider Victorian Christian world. In particular, I have used articles, both those by other Brethren writers which Kelly edited, and the many articles he wrote himself as contributions to The Bible Treasury, a published monthly magazine which he edited between 1856 and 1906. I have considered his books of Biblical exegesis and his tracts and pamphlets on other subjects. While Kelly also edited the work of John Nelson Darby (1880-1882), I have contended that Kelly was an independent theologian in his own right and not just an indiscriminate follower of Darby’s teaching. I have examined Kelly’s lively and scholarly appraisal of the German ‘School of Higher Criticism’ and its commentary on Anglican and non-conformist theologians of his period with whom he disagreed. Kelly’s work is worthy of study because his Biblical exegesis was meticulous and scholarly and demonstrated his understanding of each book within the context of the wider Biblical text. In keeping with the title of my thesis, I propose that Kelly’s teaching was nuanced and cannot easily be stereotyped. In describing him as a Biblical literalist, I have chosen to focus on the key topics of ‘the Atonement’ and ‘the After-Life’, as these were considered to be controversial topics amongst Victorian theologians and Kelly referred to them throughout his teaching. In defining him partly as a conservative intellectual, I examine his broader understanding of Biblical language and literary form, his assessment of the philosophical foundations of criticism, and his response to German and English trends in Biblical criticism. I also consider his mystic theology with regard to the church and the teaching of the Epistles and the way his own writing encapsulates his interpretation of the Biblical text. Finally, I have come to some overall conclusions about how we can assess William Kelly the characteristics of his theology and his place within the continuum of Brethren theology and of a broader Christian tradition. 4 Declaration I confirm that no portion of the work referred to in the thesis has been submitted in support of an application for another degree or qualification of this or any other university or other institute of learning.

Anne-Louise Critchlow, who is presenting this thesis, is a stipendiary vicar of the Church of England in Eccles, Manchester. She holds B.A. (hons.) and M.A. degrees in English Literature from London University, a M. es Lettres from the University of Grenoble in France and a M.A. in Theology and Pastoral Studies from the University of Leeds. She has written research dissertations on the poetry of W.B. Yeats and the history of the church in Algeria and has written an article for the Brethren Historical Review (vol. 6, 2010) on William Kelly and the Inspiration of Scriptures. She has presented a paper on Kelly’s mysticism at the Ecclesiastical History Society postgraduate symposium 2013 and at the International Brethren Conference, 2013. 6 Chapter One: William Kelly in his Context Introduction William Kelly (1821-1906) was born in County Down, Ireland. He studied Classics and Hebrew at Trinity College, Dublin from 1836 till 1841 and he graduated with first-class honours. As he was too young to be ordained in the Church of Ireland, he obtained a tutorial post in Sark for a year, where he experienced an ‘evangelical conversion’ and joined the Brethren movement, which had begun as early as 1827-8, when John Nelson Darby (1800- 1882), an ordained Anglican clergyman, was experiencing internal conflict about his beliefs and the nature of the established Church. Kelly spent the years 1842-71 in Guernsey, establishing his reputation as a Bible teacher and writer.1 While Kelly had only met Darby briefly and ‘by chance’ in Plymouth in 1845, he had already been influenced by Darby’s writing.2 However, while Darby, John Gifford Bellett (1795-1864), Benjamin Wills Newton (1807-1899) and other early Brethren leaders were debating ecclesiology in Dublin, Oxford and Plymouth, Kelly, a generation younger than these three, was living peacefully in Guernsey, meeting with only a few like-minded Christians according to Brethren principles, rather than being involved in early Brethren debates. While in Guernsey he started to edit first The Prospect (1848-50) and then The Bible Treasury (1856-1906), both of which were religious magazines, wrote biblical exegeses, and took part in Brethren conferences in London. In 1871, Kelly moved to Blackheath, London, where he was a revered and published teacher and author until his death in 1906. In this thesis I will be concerned with Kelly’s reputation as a teacher and writer both amongst the Brethren and a wider Christian public. In particular, Kelly edited and contributed many of the articles in The Bible Treasury. George Anthony Denison (1805-1896), Archdeacon of Taunton and High Church Anglican, spoke of it as, ‘the only religious magazine any longer worth reading.’3 Kelly took up controversial topics of the day such as the issues raised by ‘Higher Criticism’, the inspiration of Scripture and the Atonement, and in my thesis I will 1 Edwin N.

THE lamented Author of this treatise lived to prepare it for the press. It seems to have been originally written in its present form, though it was repeatedly delivered to his class as a course of lectures. There can also be little doubt that it was intended to be a sequel or companion volume to his recently published work on the Pastoral Epistles. As such it may safely be accepted by the public for the sound judgment, lofty aim, and evangelical spirit that characterize the work on the Epistles will not be found wanting in the present performance. Though probably not free from the defects almost inseparable from posthumous publications, the following pages will, it is hoped, amply sustain the high character of Principal Fairbairn as a theological professor. They relate to a subject which in these days is of growing importance, and which has by no means been exhausted, though several good practical works connected with it have of late made their appearance. Principal Fairbairn left instructions that no extended memoir of him should be published by any of his friends.

    Haddington House Journal, 2004 Evangelical Biblical Interpreters: Puritans, Germans, and Scots (Part II)1 Jack C. Whytock Purpose The purposes of these particular lectures are the same as in Part I in this series, and so I rehearse these purposes for your benefit. First, we want to promote the serious study of the Word of God – the scriptures. To that end we want to introduce or to become better acquainted with select evangelical interpreters who have stood the test of time. In addition to this overarching purpose I offer also the following: to help with guidance for your personal library acquisitions; to give some guidance in the vast field of biblical interpreters; to help you in your studies, preaching, and writing by giving signposts to library usage; and to encourage you to see the faithful workers who have served their generation and laboured well and so may they inspire and inflame you to press forward. Each generation can be blessed by taking a few hours of study on the heritage of evangelical biblical interpreters. Most will cite Spurgeon‘s two masterful lectures in the nineteenth century, which eventually became his Commenting and Commentaries.2 1 These lectures were first given on February 18th, and on March 18th, 2003 as Haddington House Winter Lectures No. 3, and 4, Moncton, N. B. This paper is in substance these lectures. It is also reflective of the way Haddington House attempts to conduct theological training. 2 There have been various printings of this, and it is now available in electronic format. See, C.H.

  • The Influence of Aristotelian Rhetoric on J.H. Newman's Epistemology 1
    DOI 10.1515/znth-2014-0001 — znth 2014; 21(1): 192-225 GRUYTER Andrew Meszaros The Influence of Aristotelian Rhetoric on J.H. Newman’s Epistemology Abstract: The article examines the influence of Aristotelian rhetorical theory on the epistemology of Newman. This influence is established on historical grounds and by similarity of content. Specifically, the article sheds light on how the rhetorical notions of ethos, logos, and pathos are all implicitly incorporated into Newman’s theory of knowledge concerning the concrete. The section on rhetori- cal ethos focuses on Newman’s appeal to the “prudent man.” Concerning logos, particular attention is paid to the rhetorical enthymeme and in what sense Newman’s method of argument (Informal and Natural Inference) can justiflably be described as enthymematic. Pathos, in turn, is shown to be significant for the way in which N e ^ a n views foe subjective dimension of foe individual’s coming to knowledge. The rhetorical rationality that emerges sets the stage for claritying, in another context, other more theological themes in Newman’s writings, such as his religious apologetic, his understanding of tradition, and even his Christolo^f. ,Leuven (ﻻ)<ا Andrew Meszaros: Systematische Theeiegie, Katoolleke Universiteit Leuven, E-Mail:[email protected] ﻣﻬﻪ 3م1 ه1 وSt-Michielsstraat 4 bus 1 Introducían In hisAn Essay in theAid ofa Grammar ofAssent (1870), Newman tried to justity foe claim that believers without knowledge of arguments for their faith are never- tireless reasonable in assenting to that faith. Engaging foe rationalists and foe agnostics, Newman attempted to illustrate that even foe educated person’s faith does not ultimately rely on textbook syllogisms, but rather “on personal reasonings and implicit workings of the mind, which cannot be adequately put into words.”* Newman’s Cratorian confrère in Birmingham, Edward Caswall (1814-1878), sums up Newman’s intentions with his notes scribbled in his copy of the Grammar after a conversation with Newman: ‘Object of foe book twofold.
