Frank Dennison Maurice (1805-72) was arguably the most significant Anglican thinker of the modern age, and the "Canterbury Spiritual Theology" series would be incomplete without a volume on this extraordinary figure and his immense influence on contemporary Anglican identity and understanding. Through a series of bruising encounters with his contemporaries, he pioneered a creative response to the critical challenges of modernity. Paying equal attention to contemporary criticism and orthodox Christian belief, he anticipated trends in later theology and set a pattern for reflection and negotiation that is familiar in Anglicanism today. In his work on the church's social witness, he founded Christian Socialism; in his writing on the doctrine of the church, he set out principles that remain central to Anglicanism today; he advocated a representative rather than a hierarchical theology of the ministry; and the established formula of 'Scripture, creeds, sacrament and episopacy' which has guided Anglican approaches to inter-church relations for a century is his work.

    We seem to have a resurgence of early 19th century Anglicans – the time of Tractarianism and evangelical growth, the notion of Anglican Communion the new approaches of the time to Bible study and exposition. In this melee of influential writers and thinkers we find FD Maurice, unknown to many but a great influence of his time. His original writings are as relevant today as then, which is not to say that the Church of England has not moved forward, but that Maurice’s writings may have been ahead of his time. To Maurice the church owes its concept of a church that could be comprehensive, of a theology of ministry, its doctrines of atonement, Incarnation and Trinity, its ideas of heaven and hell. Maurice was a great influence at a time when it was needed and by reading his lessons again we can learn from them to influence our time as well.
