Works
His chief writings were:
- 1889: "The Incarnation as the Basis of Dogma", an essay in Lux Mundi
- 1891: Belief in a Personal God, a paper
- 1896: Reason and Religion, a protest against the limitation of the reason to the understanding
- 1897: Ministerial Priesthood
- 1901: Atonement and Personality. In this last work, by which he is chiefly known, he aimed at presenting an explanation and a vindication of the doctrine of the Atonement by the help of the conception of personality. Rejecting the retributive view of punishment, he describes the sufferings of Christ as those of the perfect "Penitent," and finds their expiatory value to lie in the Person of the Sufferer, the God-Man.
