USDThree leading scholars examine one of the oldest professorships, the Lady Margaret's Chair of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. Graham Stanton, current holder, writes an introduction considering theology at Cambridge before 1502 and after 1649. In two subsequent chapters (delivered as lectures at an event in March 2002 to celebrate the five-hundredth anniversary of the Chair), Richard Rex offers an account of the establishment of the Professorship in 1502 and Patrick Collinson addresses the extent to which early incumbents were involved in the religious and political turmoil of the era.
- The story of one of the world's oldest professorships
- Of interest beyond Cambridge to scholars and students of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century history
- Erudite but readable and entertaining account by leading scholars
Reviews & endorsements
"All in all this little book offers an agreeable read, and the revision of the list of the early professors is both valuable and striking." Elisabeth Leedham-Green, Cambridge University Library
