| Summary: | For too long historians of Victorian theology have focused on the well-worn ecclesiastical debates and controversies, dominated by Anglican clergymen and reactionary polemic. Yet now in this stimulating study, James Livingston argues that the most sophisticated and rigorous discussion of theological issues was not in mainstream church publications. Instead he sets out to paint on a broader canvas, exploring the writings of ‘the Victorian intellectual class’ (p. 4). He presents an account of some crucial challenges to traditional British theology in the period 1860 to 1910, showing how many established doctrines were reconceived. |
