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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe education of the world\u003cbr\u003e Bunsen's biblical researches\u003cbr\u003e On the study of the evidences of Christianity\u003cbr\u003e Séances historiques de Genève\u003cbr\u003e On the Mosaic cosmogony\u003cbr\u003e Tendencies of religious thought in England, 1688–1750\u003cbr\u003e On the interpretation of scripture\u003cbr\u003e Note on Bunsen's biblical researches.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Theology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Theology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Theology%20%5BHRLB%5D%22\"\u003eHRLB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005923676440,"sku":"9781108051934","price":35.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108051934i.jpg?v=1696747083","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/essays-and-reviews-paperback-9781108051934","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
