Handley Moule and the Life of Faith (Routledge Studies in Evangelicalism) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the theology that shaped and created leading Anglican theologian Handley C.G. Moule’s understanding of the Christian life.

Moule was an evangelical of global renown, and this monograph analyses his thought from 1870 to 1920 with particular focus on his most fruitful period from 1870 to 1900. It examines Moule’s work in its historical context and according to his major theological emphases to reveal how these shaped his account of the Christian life. Through a meticulous reading of all his surviving manuscripts, including his sermons, lecture manuscripts, diaries, newspaper and journal articles, many commentaries and books, a full understanding of Moule’s doctrine of the Christian life is given. Readers will discover how he sought to set out a superior account of the faith to F.D Maurice, B.F. Westcott, the Lux Mundi theologians, Christian perfectionists, and various Keswick speakers; along with a definitive account of Moule’s embracing of the Keswick Convention. The chapters consider Moule’s doctrine of the Trinity, Christian anthropology and sin, the atonement and justification, sanctification, and scripture.

This book is especially valuable for those interested in evangelicalism, reformed Anglican theology, liberal Protestantism and trinitarian accounts of divine grace. It fills a lacuna in studies of Victorian Anglicanism, nineteenth-century Cambridge theology, English holiness movements, and early charismatic theology.
