Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inaugural Lecture Read Before the University of Oxford: In the Divinity School on Thursday, March 17th, 1836 Called to fill the principal chair of theological instruction in this University, at a season of peculiar perplexity and apprehension of danger to the Church - I must confess I almost sink under the burthen and responsibility of the task which I have undertaken. I naturally feel that the purest best heart, and the clearest strongest intellect, are in themselves inadequate to the exigencies of the post - and, therefore, that however conscious I may be of rectitude of faith and zeal, however strenuously I may exert the utmost powers of learning or talent I may possess, I must still fall far short of the high temper of mind which the office exacts. Had I then rested the question of under taking the office simply on the answer which I could give to the inquiry, "Who is sufficient for these things," I should not have had the presumption to present myself before you, as, on this day, commencing the arduous duties of the office by an inaugural address to the members at large of the University.
