Inman explores how Oxford theology, from the beginnings of the Tractarian movement until the end of the Second World War, both influenced and responded to the reform of the university. The Oxford faculty emerged as an important ecumenical body, rooted in the life and practice of the English churches. This institutional history explores the complex interactions that have defined theological life in England since the early nineteenth century.
