Throughout the book, the ecumenical implications of “Mr. Knox’s system” (107, 259) become apparent, and this feature of Knox’s thought is applauded by McCready in the conclusion. Especially after Catholicism’s conciliar and postconciliar experiences, when reform became so tightly linked to ressourcement, Knox’s desire to be “a Christian of the first six centuries” (129, 262), rooted in the church fathers—especially when combined with his friendships across denominational lines, irenic approach to disagreement, and support of political relief for Catholics in the form of the Emancipation finally promulgated in 1829 (though Knox still emphatically supported an Established Church) show Knox as a scion not only of irenicism but of ecumenism. This excellently researched and well-written book is an important contribution to our knowledge of an underappreciated thinker at the crossroads of a number of important ecclesial and political events. The Knox that emerges from McCready’s study is a generous, erudite man with something to say to Calvinists and Evangelicals, Catholics and Tractarians. Some theological and historical background is assumed, but advanced undergraduates and up will be able to benefit from this excellent book.","PeriodicalId":41065,"journal":{"name":"Newman Studies Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45928656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Life and Theology of Alexander Knox: Anglicanism in the Age of Enlightenment and Romanticism by David Mccready (review)","authors":"Shaun Blanchard","doi":"10.1353/nsj.2022.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/nsj.2022.0005","url":null,"abstract":"Alexander Knox (1757–1831), a lay theologian of the Church of Ireland, is known mainly to specialists in Anglican studies.1 David McCready’s new study provides a detailed account of Knox’s manifold theological contributions that will appeal to historians and theologians studying Anglo-Irish Christianity in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. While the subtitle certainly hints at the broader relevance of this little-known figure, it actually references only a part of the rich web of interconnected themes, persons, and issues illuminated by this study. McCready has delivered an incredibly rich and widely relevant monograph that merits engagement not only by those interested in English-speaking theology’s appropriation of Platonism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism. The book is also a deep dive into the eclectic, unique, and innovative thought of a man who helped construct “Anglican” identity itself, engaged Methodists and Roman Catholics in a sincere proto-ecumenical outlook, and was, in certain intriguing aspects, a forerunner of the Oxford Movement. The first chapter sketches Knox’s life as a lay theologian, and one who demands attention for his connection to John Wesley and his influence on, among others, Hannah More, William Wilberforce, Gladstone, and Newman. McCready’s second chapter is an important analysis of Knox as “a theoretician of Anglicanism” (37–39). In addition to tilling the soil that made the Tractarians possible, the story of the construction of a distinctively “Anglican” identity—Knox was one of the first to popularize the term itself—in the early nineteenth century sheds light not only on dynamics internal to the Church of England/Ireland, but to the broader context of a national church that found itself within a modernizing and expanding empire marked by a plurality of confessions. Knox’s unapologetic Erastianism was tempered by an equally sincere commitment to toleration and friendship","PeriodicalId":41065,"journal":{"name":"Newman Studies Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44633083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lindley","doi":"10.1353/nsj.2021.0022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/nsj.2021.0022","url":null,"abstract":"Of Victorian metaphysics we might be tempted to draw the same comparison Samuel Johnson once offered in a different context: as with a dog “walking on his hind legs,” we presume it “is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”1 Indeed, metaphysics in the nineteenth-century British Isles is studied so little now that it is hard even to list the names of more than a very few practitioners. We are more likely to give what time we have to the German tradition, with its many magnificent waves of thought. Enter W. J. Mander, a contemporary philosopher and Oxford don who has dedicated his life’s work (so far) to uncovering and re-engaging British metaphysics in the long nineteenth century, and particularly its idealist strain. Mander’s entire oeuvre will be of interest to students of Newman, chiefly because he unearths and makes a case for many thinkers and positions close to Newman’s own, but generally beyond the purview of recent systematic theology. His most recent book, though, may be of special interest, as The Unknowable deals with both a fundamentally Newmanian question—what is our epistemic relation to that which transcends us?—and sets up its discussion in relation to a thinker Newman was very much interested in: Sir William Hamilton. Mander’s thesis concerns “the idea of an ultimate but unknowable way that things really are in themselves,” a fixation of Hamilton’s early in the century (1). If we but see this question looming at the center of the century’s philosophical culture, the three major branches of Victorian metaphysics, the epistemic “agnostics,” the empiricists, and the idealists, will become more intelligible both in their similarity and their difference. The book falls into three neat sections, corresponding to each branch or strain of the tradition, and subdivided into chapters on specific historical figures, each approached both biographically and analytically in relation to the central question. Mander has a nice way (not unlike the method of T. H. Irwin in the history of ethics) of taking each figure seriously on his own terms, privileging the author’s own texts and voice, and yet also drawing his theories into dialogical relation to the others at hand. In the first part (on those who were agnostic as to","PeriodicalId":41065,"journal":{"name":"Newman Studies Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42670379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
