F. D. Maurice and the Crisis of Christian Authority

F. D. Maurice was a leading nineteenth-century Anglican theologian and social commentator. He pioneered Christian Socialism and became a key influence on the development of the modern Church of England. Whilst providing an introduction to Maurice's thought in context, this major study argues that his work was driven above all by a concern to reinvigorate Anglican ecclesiology, and to promote an ecumenical breadth of spirit that could transform the Church of England's relations with other Christian traditions.
