Peter Hinchliff...has here turned his pen to...the general problem of faith and history at the turn of the twentieth century....Hinchliff's study addresses a need and fills it in admirable fashion....One could hardly do better than rely on a guide as knowledgeable as Hinchliff, whose analysis is marked throughout by patience, sympathy, and an acutely critical eye. --The Journal of Religion A fine book. --Albion He illumines a fascinating trail that perceptively identifies many similarities and differences of ideas whose variety could all too easily overwhelm the non-specialist. He reveals his own interests while avoiding the danger of idiosyncracy...Serves the reader well by providing a helpful chronological table, and interesting list of suggestions for further reading, and an excellent index of names and topics. --Theological Studies A provocative volume that reinforces our understanding that problems of history were as acute for Christian theology in nineteenth-cent

'This is a fine book.' Desmond Bowen, Ottawa, Canada 'By his careful attention both to the texts themselves and to their intellectual and personal contexts, Hinchliff has illuminated a theme which retains its importance, in very different circumstances, a century later.' Ecclesiastical History 'good book reflecting up-to-date scholarship ... and also embodying independent research and reflection ...' David L. Edwards, Church Times 31 July 1992 'Here is an important book,...Here we witness the intellectual energy of the late Victorian - can we match them?' John Munsey Turner, Methodist Recorder 'Good book - reflecting up-to-date scholarship...' Church Times 'Peter Hinchcliff is a courageous author ... this book is a timely and profound study of what is still potentially theological dynamite today' J.H.L. Rowlands, Saint Michael and All Angels' Theological College, Llandaff 'One of the refreshing aspects of this book, at least for a Scottish reader, is that it does restrict itself to the charmed circle of Oxford Anglicanism.' Ian Bradley, University of Aberdeen, Scottish Journal of Theology, 1993 'even familiar landmarks can take on a new shape in close up ... a fresh look, and invitations to reconsider judgements, at many points ... this is an excellent survey which deserves to become a major resource for student and specialist alike' Keith W. Clements, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol. 44, No. 1, April 1993 'Hinchcliff's analysis throws a penetrating beam of light into the forest of scholarship in that period ... He illumines a fascinating trail that perceptively identifies many similarities and differences of ideas ... H. serves the reader well by providing a helpful chronological table, an interesting list of suggestions for further reading, and an excellent index of names and topics.' Gerard Magill, Saint Louis University, Theological Studies, June 1993 'This book is a provocative, insightful volume about how British thelogians explored the problems raised by new ways of understanding history and its relationship with faith ...this is an excellent book.' Charles D Cashdollar, American Historical Review, February 1994 'Peter Hinchcliffe has produced a provocative volume that reinforces our understanding that problems of history were as acute for Christian theology in nineteenth-century Britain as any that Darwinism could and did pose.' The Historian, Winter 1993/94 'Hinchcliffe covers a great deal of ground with wit and originality.' Mark D Chapman, The Heythrop Journal, April 1994 'This is a scholarly work, clearly written and well presented, suitalbe for final year undregraduates and research students.' David Nicholls, Theological Book Review, Vol 6, February 1994 'a provocative volume that reinforces our understanding that problems of history were as acute for Christian theology in nineteenth-century Britain as any that Darwinism could and did pose.'

The strength of this volume lies in the cumulative testimony to the significance of these issues for the British Church and society, as well as in the careful delineation of the widely divergent individual views of the participants, despite their commonalities as to gender, social class, education, and, for the most part, affilitation with the religious establishment. --The Historian<br> A provocative, insightful volume about how British theologians explored the 'Problems raised by new ways of understanding history and its relationship with faith' Hinchliff approaches the topic with a theologian's as well as a historian's eye. --American HistoricalReview<br>
