Henry Longueville Mansel published his Bampton Lectures in 1858,
twenty seven years after Hegel's death and twelve years before the
publication of Ritschl's Rechtfertigung und Versoehnung. The timing
is significant. As a sweeping critique of liberalism, frequently
symbolized by the work of Hegel, the lectures react to the slow but
inexorable permeation of English religious thought by German ways
of thinking. By 1858, the process was sufficiently widespread that
Mansel felt justified in devoting the principal portion of his work
to the attack. Ritschl marks the effective end of Hegel's direct
influence on theology and a return to a more Kantian mode of
thinking. His gambit had already been made, for Mansel is in many
ways a more cautious version of Ritschl. Mansel, however, wrote in
English and had the misfortune to say what he did at the beginning
of a movement so strong that it allowed no quali fication. Thus
Mansel's thought was rarely accepted. He was certainly not ignored,
at least at the time. The lectures, entitled "The Limits of
Religious Thought," were an immediate sensation. They were quickly
reprinted both on the Continent and in America and went through two
editions in 1858, two more in 1859, and a fifth in 1867. For a
period they became "almost a textbook in the schools of the
University. " 1 Few leading divines of the day were silent and
fewer yet were neutral.
