Excerpt from book: Ill STANLEY ON THE STUDY OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY1 In these introductory lectures Mr. Stanley gives us the keynote of what he means to be his professorial teaching. It will be, if we are to judge from them, comprehensive, wide in its range and in its sympathies, noble and generous in its spirit, full, rich, varied, attractive,â?"attractive from its abundance of materials and information, from the hearty earnestness and warmth of the teacher, and from the finished elegance of his manner. On the other hand, this teaching does not promise to be distinguished by deep and searching views; it seems not unlikely to be tempted to linger on the surface by a love of the picturesque and dramatic, and by an instinctive shrinking from the thorns and pitfalls of theological controversy, and the doubts and contradictions of inward experiences; it will show, besides candour, temper, and elevation, anuneasy hesitation, an impulse to go to the edge checked by an unconquerable drawing back, in those inevitable questions where men have hitherto found it necessary to make up their minds; and though far from forgetting the divine and unearthly aspects of Church history, it will put out its strength and lay the stress of its results on the purely human side of that history. Mr. Stanley would be as far as possible from intending to divorce the earthly from the heavenly, the human agents from the more than human significance and importance of the actions in which they had their part. But we may expect, probably, that sometimes wisely, sometimes questionably, he will present that purely human side and significance of ecclesiastical history with a strength and exclusiveness which will be new in one of its English University chairs. 1 Three Introductory Lectures on the Study of Books History~~General Occasional-Papers~~Richard-William-Church General Books LLC This is an OCR edition without illustrations or index.

Excerpt: ... JANSENIST EXPOSITIONS OF SCRIPTURE1 A Relic of the later Jansenist literature--and that an elaborate exposition of the figurative language of Scripture--is rather a singular work to be republished in modern Paris by the bookseller of the Institute and the Senate. Neither Jansenism, apart from the genius and the sufferings of its early leaders, nor that close and minute study of the Bible which is familiar to English religion, is supposed to be very popular or very much respected in France; and the circle there, we should think, must be a narrow one, which is likely to enter with any interest into the ideas of a writer who founds a scheme of religious history, past and present, on a comparison and arrangement of the symbolical language of prophecies and parables. But the work before us is not the only one by the same writer, and bearing on the same general subject, which has been lately reprinted in Paris. It may be that 1 Histoire de la Religion reprisent''ee dans lAcriture Sainte sous divers Symioles. Par M. l''Abbe'' d''Et&nare. Saturday Review, 14th March 1863. these republications indicate new currents of religious feeling and thought--that a reaction against the 1 fashionable and rampant Ultramontanism is setting some independent and serious minds in the direction of views which? are a byword with Ultramontanism, and of studies for which it has no sympathy, and is inclining them to study the Bible as devout and zealous Protestants study it, or even to look with reviving favour on the almost silent and forgotten teaching of the Appellants from the Bull Unigenitus. Unlikely as it seems, and as in fact it is, that the leading ideas of Jansenism should again gain ground in France, there are circumstances in the situation of the country, and perma...
