  • ‘Titans of the Punjab’

    Open AccessStewart J BrownARTICLEStudies in Church History2026

    The Punjab school, a network of soldier-administrators involved in the conquest and governance of the Punjab between the mid-1840s and mid-1860s, had a profound influence on British Christian attitudes towards the empire in India. The network included some sixty army officers and civilian administrators, who were characterized by military valour, a strict sense of duty, emphasis on moral character, paternalist attitudes, philanthropic activism, i…

  • Dissolving the ‘Sacred Union’? The Disestablishment of the Church in Ireland

    Stewart J BrownARTICLEBulletin of the John Rylands…2021

    In 1869, Parliament disestablished the Church of Ireland, dissolving what Benjamin Disraeli called the ‘sacred union’ of church and state in Ireland. Disestablishment involved fundamental issues – the identity and purpose of the established church, the religious nature of the state, the morality of state appropriation of church property for secular uses, and the union of Ireland and Britain – and debate was carried on at a high intellectual level…

  • Moral Culture and Historical Progress in the Scottish Enlightenment

    Open AccessStewart J BrownARTICLEModern Intellectual History2018Referencias: 4

    We continue to be intrigued by the Scottish Enlightenment. How was it that a relatively remote country on the geographical periphery of Europe—with a harsh climate, a largely mountainous terrain, a strict Calvinist creed, a small population and a history of civil strife—emerged in the 1740s as a “hotbed of genius” and a center of the European Enlightenment? The subject, to be sure, has been well studied. There is an immense literature and it can …

  • Providential Empire? The Established Church of England and the Nineteenth-Century British Empire in India

    Open AccessStewart J BrownARTICLEStudies in Church History2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 16

    In the early nineteenth century, many in Britain believed that their conquests in India had a providential purpose, and that imperial Britain had been called by God to Christianize India through an alliance of Church and empire. In 1813, parliament not only opened India to missionary activity, but also provided India with an established Church, which was largely supported by Indian taxation and formed part of the established Church of England. Ma…

  • A Singular Case

    Open AccessStewart J BrownARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    As has been long recognised, Europe’s growing knowledge of China’s ancient and sophisticated civilisation had a major influence on the moral culture of the European Enlightenment. In China, European thinkers perceived an orderly, stable society, with a viable ethical system that had developed independently of Judaic-Christianity. This in turn raised fundamental questions, not only about the nature of God and morality, but also about what lessons …

  • The British Critic

    Simon Skinner, Stewart J Brown et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Oxford…2017

    In this chapter the author examines the origins, Tractarian takeover, and ensuing commentary of the British Critic magazine, and the significant controversy which it was to generate. The chapter argues that attention to the Movement’s periodical journalism demonstrates the anxiety of John Henry Newman and others to secure a polemical platform beyond the Tracts for the Times, specifically for the discussion of political and social affairs. It addi…

  • Tradition and Development

    Stewart J Brown, Peter Nockles et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Oxford…2017

    Tradition as source of religious knowledge had been obscured since the Reformation by the Protestant claim that the Bible, and only the Bible, was the source of Christian knowledge. The use and abuse of Tradition in religious controversy had led Protestants to distrust it. The end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries brought a rediscovery of the concept and an enhanced value to Tradition in the social and religious spheres.…

  • Tractarian Theology in Verse and Sermon

    John Boneham, Stewart J Brown et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Oxford…2017

    In this chapter the author explores the role of poetry and sermons in propagating Tractarian theological ideas. The use of these two distinct genres was closely connected to the principle of reserve, a theory of knowledge holding that religious truth ought to be conveyed in accordance with the recipient’s ability to receive it. While poetry allowed a more detailed theological reflection, sermons offered a better opportunity for practical teaching…

  • The Prayer Book Controversy

    John Maiden, Stewart J Brown et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Oxford…2017

    In this chapter the author examines the role of Anglo-Catholicism in the revision process between the Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline and the rejection of the 1928 Prayer Book in Parliament. The early twentieth-century project of Prayer Book revision in England in some ways indicated the growing recognition and acceptance of Anglo-Catholicism within the wider Church. However, as the process became increasingly controversial with del…

  • The Established Churches, Church Growth, and Secularization in Imperial Britain, c.1830–1930

    Stewart J BrownBOOKSecularization and Religious…2017

    This chapter considers the question of whether church establishments, representing the alliance of church and state, contributed to church decline. It does so through a study of the established Church of England and the established Church of Scotland during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The chapter argues that these churches experienced a remarkable resurgence in the decades after 1830—the period representing the height of British…

  • Did the Oxford Movement Die in 1851?

    Stewart J Brown, Peter Nockles et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Oxford…2017

    The conversion of a considerable number of supporters of the Oxford Movement between 1845 and 1851 raised a chorus of condemnations, but also led to the publication of the individual reasons which had led the converts to Rome. In such writings, the converts insisted that the path they had taken was the result of mature consideration and of inescapable dictates of conscience: to remain in the Church of England, they claimed, would have endangered …

  • The Oxford Handbook of the Oxford Movement

    Stewart J Brown, Peter Nockles et al.BOOKThe Oxford Handbook of the Oxford…2017

    The Handbook provides a comprehensive exploration of a great renewal movement in Christian history, which has profoundly influenced not only the world Anglican Communion, but other Church traditions as well. Commencing with the Movement’s roots within both High Church and evangelical Anglicanism, and its genesis within the University of Oxford and notably Oriel College, the Handbook considers the relatively short period when the Movement could pr…

    In 1894 the prominent English journalist and religious visionary, W. T. Stead, published If Christ came to Chicago! , a work of investigative journalism focusing on the problems of the modern city. The book constituted a manifesto for Stead's notion of the ‘Civic Church’, a religious movement through which he hoped to revive a sense of national religion, and unite churches and philanthropic associations around a shared commitment to follow Christ…

    The Oxford Movement transformed the nineteenth-century Church of England with a renewed conception of itself as a spiritual body. Initiated in the early 1830s by members of the University of Oxford, it was a response to threats to the established Church posed by British Dissenters, Irish Catholics, Whig and Radical politicians, and the predominant evangelical ethos - what Newman called 'the religion of the day'. The Tractarians believed they were…
