Excerpt from Life of Bishop John Wordsworth Bishop John Wordsworth was so copious in authorship that the bibliography appended to the volume, though I hope that it contains all his writings that are landmarks in his life, that deal with topics on which he spoke with special knowledge, or that are of permanent importance. Is but a small selection from the mass. A full catalogue would have filled a volume in itself. There has been no thought Of criticism; certainly no serious student will dispense himself from the task Of seeking in the Salisbury Diocesan Gazette for a full and wise comment upon events and thoughts in the English Church during Bishop Wordsworth's Episcopate. But it would be an unprofitable task to make a calendar Of his contributions to that Gazette and his sermons, dozens Of which he printed separately in small numbers and with no view to their general circulation, are quite inaccessible and therefore.

Scientific and historical studies in the Nineteenth-century challenged Christian believers to restate their faith in ways which took account of new knowledge. An example of this is the influence of philosophical idealism on a generation of writers and theologians, principally centred around the University of Oxford. However, these optimistic and socially-privileged men and women failed to come to terms with the mass movements and rapid changes in fin-de-siècle England. The Church moved out of touch with national life and is reaping the consequences today.
