| Summary: | John Henry Newman thought that Bible-reading was the religion of the English. This adroitly constructed work demonstrates the centrality of Scripture to nineteenth-century England, tracing this through the representatives of the rival traditions of Victorian Christianity and its critics, with a particular emphasis on women. The title is a variant on John Wesley's claim to be ‘a man of one book’., Professor Larsen chooses Edward Bouverie Pusey to speak for Anglo-Catholicism. As the Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, as well as a leader of the Oxford Movement, there is no questioning Pusey's profound scholarship and religious fervour. |
