ON THE ABSTRACT IDEAS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jowett was appointed by Lord Palmerston to the Regius Professorship of Greek in autumn 1855. He had been a tutor of Balliol and a clergyman since 1842 and had devoted himself to the work of tuition: his pupils became his friends for life. He discerned their capabilities and taught them to know themselves. This made him a reputation as "the great tutor." As early as 1839, Stanley had joined with Archibald Campbell Tait, the future Archbishop of Canterbury, in advocating certain university reforms. From 1846 onwards Jowett threw himself into this movement, which in 1848 became general amongst the younger and more thoughtful fellows, until it took effect in the commission of 1850 and the act of 1854.
