This essay by S. F. Davenport won the Norrisian Prize awarded by
the University of Cambridge in 1924 and was published the next
year. In it, Davenport examines the idea of 'immanence', which he
defines as 'indicating the rapport between God and His creatures',
and the possible application of the concept to the Incarnation of
Christ. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
Christology or Christian theology more generally.
First published in 1903, this book is a historical study of the
sources and development of the doctrines of the Fall and Original
Sin. It was written as the companion volume to The Origin and
Propagation of Sin, in which the author supplied a critical
analysis of the topic. Dealing with the sources of the Hebrew
Fall-story and the propagation, from this narrative, of Jewish and
Christian theories relating to human sinfulness, it gathers
together a broad array of literature for use by the student of
theology. The text is consummately edited and contains exhaustive
notes, together with a large index of names and religious passages.
It will be of value to anyone with an interest in religious history
or theology.
This book is the 1906 second edition of the Hulsean Lectures
delivered at the University of Cambridge between 1901 and 1902. In
these four lectures, F. R. Tennant challenges conventional
teachings on Original Sin and the story of the Fall, arguing that
his contemporaries had misinterpreted the biblical presentation of
sin and its manifestations. Tennant aims to redefine the sin of
both the race and the individual, and in doing so engages with
traducianism and the philosophies of Malebranche, Kant and Hegel.
He argues that action predates modern conceptions of right and
wrong, and that transgression is only sin if the actor is aware of
what is morally right. Of course, these theories were met with
great opposition, an opposition which Tennant uses the preface of
this second edition to confront. These fascinating lectures and
their appendages will be of great interest to scholars of Christian
theology and the fin de siecle alike.
First published in 1912, this book by F. R. Tennant was intended to
redress the vague and inconsistent conceptions of sin that were
popularly held at the beginning of the twentieth century. Tennant
maintained that for any ongoing debate to remain meaningful, it was
imperative that definitions of key terms should keep pace with
discussion. Therefore his study aimed at providing a clear, logical
definition of what sin in Christian doctrine represented, whilst
also bringing to bear the importance of ethics and psychology to
any modern understanding of the subject.
