Frederick Denison Maurice

Discover the profound insights of Frederick Denison Maurice in this engaging book by H. G. Wood, published by Cambridge University Press in 2008. Spanning 180 pages, this paperback edition delves into the significant events surrounding Maurice's life, particularly the pivotal moment in 1853 when the Council of King's College, London, deemed his references to future punishment in Theological Essays as having a 'dangerous tendency.' This controversial stance led to the severance of Maurice's connection with the College, yet his legacy endures, as evidenced by the establishment of a lectureship in his honor at King's College. Explore the complexities of Maurice's thought and the impact he had on theological discourse through this insightful work that is a must-read for anyone interested in religious studies and history.
