Description: Way, the Truth, the Life by Fenton John An Hort These 1871 lectures by F. J. A. Hort, meditations on John 14: 5-6, explore the relevance of Christianity in Victorian society. Their central concern - the harmony between religion and science - and Horts confident embrace of scientific inquiry resonate with theological debates today. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 Horts 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 Darwins 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. Horts lectures are a key work of Anglican theology addressing the issue, still pressing over a century later, of religions relationship with science.
