This book offers a reassessment of the theology of F. D. Maurice
(1805-72), one of the most significant theologians of the modern
Church of England. It seeks to place Maurice's theology in the
context of nineteenth-century conflicts over the social role of the
Church, and over the truth of the Christian revelation. Maurice is
known today mostly for his seminal role in the formation of
Christian Socialism, and for his dismissal from his chair at King's
College, London, over his denial of the doctrine of eternal
punishment. Drawing on the whole range of Maurice's extensive
published work, this book argues that his theology, and his social
and educational activity, were held together above all by his
commitment to a renewal of Anglican ecclesiology. At a time when,
following the social upheavals of the French Revolution and the
Industrial Revolution, many of his contemporaries feared that the
authority of the Christian Church -- and particularly of the Church
of England -- was under threat, Maurice sought to reinvigorate his
Church's sense of mission by emphasizing its national
responsibility, and its theological inclusiveness. In the process,
he pioneered a new appreciation of the diversity of Christian
traditions that was to be of great importance for the Church of
England's ecumenical commitment. He also sought to limit the damage
of internal Church division, by promoting a view of the Church's
comprehensiveness that acknowledged the complementary truth of
convictions fiercely held by competing parties.
