PREFACE
First of all I would
like to express my thanks to the Council of Latimer House, Oxford, for employing
me for three years in Oxford in order that I could write on the history of
Evangelical theology. In those three years (1973–6) I produced with Michael
Smout a biography of Bishop J. C. Ryle (published by James Clarke in the UK and
Reiner Publications in the USA) and this book. It is a great privilege to live
and work in Oxford.
It appears to me
that a lot of Anglican Evangelical theology in the nineteenth century was
produced in controversial situations. This book attempts to describe how the
Evangelicals reacted to the appearance of Tractarian theology. A further book
needs to be written showing how they reacted to the ‘Liberal’ theology – that is
to new views about the Bible, revelation, creation, miracles and related
subjects which gained popularity in England from about 1850.
I am very grateful
to the Rev Dr Geoffrey Rowell, chaplain of Keble College, who read and
criticised the manuscript when it was being written. Also to the Rev Dr E.
Yarnold, S.J., the Rev R. T. Beckwith, and Canon Michael Hennell I am grateful
for their comments on specific parts of the work. The late Fr Stephen Dessain,
together with Dr John Walsh, Clyde Ervine, George Herring and Brian Stanley gave
me help on specific points.
To the librarians of
Pusey House, Oxford, and Lambeth Palace, London, together with the Keeper of
Western Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, I am grateful for
permission to use manuscripts.
My wife has made
sacrifices so that I could complete this work and she deserves many
thanks.
