'Peter Hinchliff has brought both a faculty theologian's and a
career chaplain's expertise to the analysis of the notes and texts.
The results are expressed in professional nuances delivered with a
gift for presenting unfamiliar metaphysical subtleties in memorable
analogies.' John Priest (1954) 'Persuasive Sermons - Balliol
College Annual Record 1988
'This thesis turns someone often regarded as one of the boring
Victorians into a figure of stature. The book starts slowly and
then builds up into a study which will grip anyone interested in
intellectual history... the most serious contribution for some
years to the history of the development of religious theology in
England' Owen Chadwick, Times Literary Supplement
'... there is room for this additon to the books... because the
author is an accomplished historian of the religious thought of
that age who has put to readable use a deep knowledge of Balliol...
A learned essay which shows that, although Oxford and the world are
now so different, many of the questions which agitated the
Victorians are still with us.' David L. Edwards, Church Times
'admirable and scholarly monograph' Theology
`Dr Hinchcliffe has contributed much to our understanding of
Victorian religion' Ieuan Ellis,
Journal of Theological Studies, Vol 39, 2, 1988
'a fascinating study, not of Jowett only, but of the religious and
intellectual world in which he operated'
Boyd Hilton, Trinity College, Cambridge, History
