"The Miners' Bishop is a comprehensive study of Brooke Foss Westcott's life and work. Graham A. Patrick offers a reappraisal of this influential Victorian scholar and bishop who anticipated many of the concerns of our own times." "The author reassesses Westcott's wide-ranging contribution to the life of the Victorian church, his pioneering work on the text and translation of the New Testament, his studies in the history of the Church, his contribution to educational thought and practice and his spirituality. Westcott was a Christian Socialist and, long before others, reflected on the relationship between Christianity and other world faiths. Graham A. Patrick draws special attention to Westcott's incarnational theology which has hitherto been undervalued by scholars." "A portrait emerges of an eirenical scholar and bishop whose mediation in the 1892 Durham Miners' Strike was symbolic of his life and work as a whole."--BOOK JACKET.

Well, to begin at the beginning, I went to Crediton at eleven, and having reached the station, asked the way to Shobrooke, and in due course came to the church, which is a pretty little building with a well-proportioned tower, snugly resting under the crest of the hill, and looking far over a rich country. I walked back to the Parsonage to get the keys, and met the clergyman, with whom I had a little talk. He directed me to notice some Norman oak ...
