Though he never attained the highest office in the Church of
England, Samuel Horsley was the ablest bishop on the bench in the
late eighteenth century. He was a scientist, parliamentarian, and
man of letters, as well as a leading theologian and diocesan
administrator. While his forthright opposition to popular politics
at the time of the French Revolution earned him the label 'Grand
Mufti', his social outlook found a distinct place for the
benevolence of the age. F. C. Mather's scholarly and perceptive
biography provides a portrait of Horsley and the Church of England
in an age of intellectual, social, and political revolution.
Professor Mather establishes Horsley as a high churchman, who
bridged the gap between the Anglican Toryism of Atterbury and
Sacheverell and the apostolic vision of the Tractarians. High Court
Prophet challenges belief in the predominance of latitudinarianism
in the eighteenth-century church, and throws new light on the
workings of church-state relations.
