Charles Gore (1853 1932), the future Bishop of Oxford and a
passionate campaigner for social justice, compiled and edited these
twelve theological essays published in 1891. The eleven
contributors, all Oxford scholars at some time, shared the
conviction that theology must engage with advances in scientific
and historical knowledge, learn from them, and use them in
interpreting Christian doctrine. In their case, this meant
recognising God at work in the material world, in evolution, and in
society, not merely at the spiritual level. 'If the true meaning of
the faith is to be made sufficiently conspicuous, ' Gore wrote in
his introduction, 'it needs disencumbering, reinterpreting,
explaining'. The essays focus on the Incarnation, as the central
doctrine for the whole of theology, which may be applied very
differently in different contexts. The book, regarded by some as
too progressive, was a great success and sold ten editions in its
first year.
