How did Anglicans read the Bible 200 years ago? This book invites you into the world of nineteenth-century Anglican biblical interpretation. It draws on sermons, memoirs, and commentaries to show the interesting, compelling, and sometimes confusing ways that Anglicans read the Bible. The book contains new research on Charles Simeon, Benjamin Jowett, John Keble, Christina Rossetti, F.D. Maurice, Richard Chenevix Trench, and many others.
Cole William Hartin, Ph.D., Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto, is an Associate Rector at Christ Church Episcopal in Tyler, Texas. He has published scholarly articles on nineteenth-century Anglicanism, as well as many popular articles and poems.
