Religious Thought in the Victorian Age: A Survey from Coleridge to Gore

An account of the intellectual and theological ferment of nineteenth-century Britain - the dynamic period when so many of the ideas and attitudes we take for granted today were first established (including the impact of biblical criticism upon traditional theology, and the belief in a social as well as a spirtual mission for the Church). Key figures include Coleridge, Newman Carlyle, Matthew Arnold and F. D. Maurice. Unavailable for some time, the reappearance of this updated Second Edition will be welcomed by theologians and intellectual and literary historians alike.

Bernard M.G. Reardon was Reader and Head of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne until his retirement.
