keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

Comprising seven essays by learned contributors and controversially
advocating a rationalist Christianity, this work became a sensation
upon publication in 1860. Frederick Temple (1821 1902), later
Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote on the cultural contributions of
non-Christians; Roland Williams (1817 70), Professor of Hebrew at
Lampeter, questioned Old Testament prophesies; Baden Powell (1796
1850), Oxford Professor of Geometry, challenged belief in miracles
and embraced Darwinism; Henry Bristow Wilson (1803 88) questioned
literal biblical history; the only lay contributor, Egyptologist
Charles Wycliffe Goodwin (1817 78), embraced geology; Mark Pattison
(1813 84), tutor at Lincoln College, wrote on the history of
rationalist theology; and Benjamin Jowett (1817 93), Oxford
Professor of Greek, advocated a historical reading of the Bible.
Wilson and Williams were later found guilty of heresy by a Church
court, though this was overturned on appeal. For readers interested
in the theological controversies of the Victorian era, these essays
remain invaluable.
