Christianity and Social Order

William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1942 until his death in 1944, is by common consent among the greatest holders of that office and one of the most remarkable Englishmen of this century. The son of Archbishop Frederick Temple (1897-1902) and in his twenties and thirties an Oxford don and public school headmaster, he made creative contributions in many fields: as the leader of the Life and Liberty Movement which led to the creation in 1921 of the Church Assembly; as a pioneer of the Ecumenical Movement; as a philosopher of religion (he was author of "Mens Creatrix", "Christus Veritas" and "Nature, Man and God"); as an interpreter of Christianity for the general public; and as one who argued from Christian principles to find solutions to contemporary problems. This book gives clear and popular expression to views which Temple held, in general, for most of his working life. The book's first appearence in 1942 coincided with a surge of feeling that victory over Nazism must be followed by a "new deal" at home. Temple's objectives are: firstly, to vindicate the Church's right to intervene in economic questions; secondly, to show that it has something worthwhile to say; and thirdly, to indicate clearly where the competence of the Church ceases because technicalities are involved. Other points he emphasises are the need to determine the proper balance between the profit motive and service to the community, and between the power of the state and the freedom of the individual; and the importance for man of rediscovering his true relationship with the earth upon which he lives.

Readings in St. John's Gospel

First published in 1931, this book provides a picture of Temple's theology in an accessible form. The addresses, delivered at Oxford, reveal Temple not as the clerical superstar who would later become the Archbishop of Canterbury, but as a down-to-earth evangelist offering a very passionate, dynamic, personal testimony.

A Masterpiece! A Devotional and Scholarly Classic. A book you will love and treasure - William Temple’s Magnum Opus, originally published in two volumes in 1938/39. His aim is to share with us what the Holy Spirit says to him through this Gospel. This book can be used as a commentary, for daily devotion and for sermon preparation. Temple wrote: “As long as I can remember I have had more love for St. John’s Gospel than for any other book. Bishop Gore once said to me that he paid visits to St. John as to a fascinating foreign country, but he came home to St. Paul. With me the precise opposite is true. St. Paul is the exciting, and also rather bewildering, adventure; with St. John I am at home.”
