O knihe

Excerpt from The Study of Theology: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered on June 13, 1918

There is another sphere to which I have already referred, where the religious future of the nation demands wise criticism, and that is in the history and theory of the ministry. Here our weapon must be a double-edged one, because we must learn to criticize the many novel theories which have appeared in the last half-century equally with the too rigid presentment of the traditional Church order.

I would venture to put before you, then, as four conditions for the healthy study of theology: a close touch With religious reality, a willingness to learn from the whole field of Christian tradition, a grasp of the conception of freedom which Catholic Christianity should mean, and a spirit of reverent criticism.

And now I would ask you to turn for a few minutes to the more practical problems in the study of theology which Oxford offers at the present time.

Theology in Oxford by tradition and history occupies its rightful place. It is what we now call a Post graduate Faculty. It ranks with Law and Medicine. From this result certain deductions which have been sometimes lost sight of.
