Maurice was a fearless thinker, educationalist and social reformer,
who made a profound impression upon his contemporaries, but it is
mainly as a man of religion that he is remembered. Maurice came to
his theological beliefs only after painful inward struggle. He was
more than a man of brilliant intellect - he was utterly dedicated -
and his religious beliefs were ground out in the mill of his own
experience. He was never afraid to look unpleasant facts in the
face, and his intellectual honesty challenges modern man as much as
it did his own generation. Maurice's magnum opus was The Kingdom of
Christ, published in 1838, and its relevance is clear at a time
when the relationship between Church and State is being discussed.
One can find in these pages Maurice's eager quest for a firm
foundation for his own faith, and its expression in the Anglican
church. Yet his ideas transcend his churchmanship, and he is
regarded as the most significant influence in the religious life
and thought of England during the nineteenth century, combining
prophetic witness, systematic thought, and creative endeavour,
unified and inspired by the ceaseless aspiration of a life
consecrated to sanctity. Not for nothing did Gladstone describe him
as 'a spiritual splendour'.
