Benjamin Hoadly, Bishop successively of Bangor, Hereford, Salisbury
and Winchester, was the most controversial English churchman of the
eighteenth century, and he has unjustly gained the reputation of a
negligent and political bishop. His sermon on the nature of
Christ's kingdom sparked the Bangorian controversy, which raged
from 1717 to 1720 and generated hundreds of books, tracts and
sermons, while his commitment to the Whigs and the cause of
toleration for Dissenters earned him the antagonism of many
contemporary and later churchmen. In this powerfully revisionist
study, Hoadly emerges as a dedicated and conscientious bishop with
strong and progressive principles. His commitment to the ideology
of the Revolution of 1688 and to the comprehension of Dissenters
into the Church of England are revealed as the principal motives
for his work as a preacher, author and bishop. Gibson also shows
how Hoadly's stout defence of rationalism made him a contributor to
the English Enlightenment, while his commitment to civil liberties
made him a progenitor of the American Revolution. Above all,
however, the goal of reuniting of English Protestants remained the
heart of Hoadly's legacy.
