Product Description
Review
"Admirable....A deeply researched contribution to historical theology."--Choice
"A welcome new study....David Young's book is the result of careful and painstaking research. He goes far toward unravelling the enigma of Maurice, who emerges again in our day as a guide for those whose doubts and thoughts need to be brought out, faced clearly, and perhaps resolved."--AnglicanTheological Review
"The general tone of this welcome volume, well-researched and composed, gives us a strong image of a man who, in straddling two theological realms, found himself exiled in his institutionally chosen one, and appreciated more in the other."--Victorian Studies
"A valuable addtition to the Maurice literature....This fine thesis, tenaciously worked at when other duties must have been pressing, is all the more admirable, as well as illuminating, for being a labour of love."--Heythrop Journal
Product Description
F. D. Maurice (1805-72) was one of Victorian Britain's most controversial thinkers. Although he came from a Unitarian family and counted leading Unitarians as his friends, their influence on his work has never been seriously examined. The purpose of this new book is to look at his life and teaching in the light of Unitarianism. Maurice's faith had a distinctly Christological emphasis, but he continued to value his Unitarian heritage. His concern with the Fatherhood of God and the dignity of the human race owes much to his family background. Dr Young's study opens with a compact history of Unitarianism during the lives of F. D. Maurice and his father, a Unitarian minister. A series of biographical sketches draws on hitherto unpublished material to set Maurice's work in its historical context. The final chapters compare the central themes of his theology with the teaching of his Unitarian contemporaries.
