Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury: A Life

by Peter Hinchliff

Overview

Frederick Temple was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1897 to 1902, and was involved in many crucial events in education, theology, and ecclesiastical politics in the second half of the nineteenth century. Almost his last act as archbishop was to crown Edward VII. Hinchcliff has made use of largely unpublished family papers as well as over a hundred volumes of official papers at Lambeth Palace to paint a vivid portrait of this key figure.

Editorial Reviews

"The late Peter Hinchliff has...done a great historical service by producing the first full-length biography of Temple."—Albion

"Hinchliff handles controversy with particular clarity and engaging suspense....For those interested in the history of modernity, in the powers of change as they bear down upon religious institutions and their leaders, this is a valuably illustrative work."—Anglican Theological Review
