Synopsis

""The Way, The Truth, The Life: The Hulsean Lectures For 1871"" is a book written by Fenton John Anthony Hort and originally published in 1893. The book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by Hort in 1871 at the University of Cambridge. The lectures explore the Christian concept of the way, the truth, and the life, as discussed in the Gospel of John. Hort examines these concepts in their historical and theological contexts, and explores their significance for Christian belief and practice. The book is considered a classic work of Christian theology and has been influential in shaping the understanding of the Gospel of John and the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828–1892) gave the Cambridge Hulsean lectures in November and December of 1871. First published posthumously in 1893, with minor revisions, these lectures are built around a sustained meditation on John 14: 5–6. They represent Hort's defence of the continuing relevance of Christianity in an increasingly science-focused world where religion was no longer the sole arbitrator of 'truth'. These lectures are a direct response to the development of Historical Criticism and the aftermath of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). Hort argues that confidence in the 'truth' of Christianity can only lead to a championship of science and other non-theological methods of inquiry for ultimately 'all knowledge ministers to the knowledge of the highest'. Hort's lectures are a key work of Anglican theology addressing the issue, still pressing over a century later, of religion's relationship with science.
