The divinity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

Chapter 67

II. The ‘Clergyman’ maintains that the Bampton Lecturer is

open to the charge of professing to appeal to Scripture reasonably interpreted, while in reality he is guided by the Creeds and doctrinal teaching of the Catholic Church. ‘The Lecturer,’ he says, ‘proffers his dogma to be tested by the Bible, thoroughly investigated and reasonably understood. To prove his confidence justified and his conclusions sustained by the Bible is the one great end of his carefully compiled, and, from his own side, virtually exhaustive pleadings. If he had not chosen to stand thus on indefensible ground, I should not have ventured to criticise his lectures. Against the evidence for the doctrine of our Lord’s Deity regarded as a revelation through the Church, or as resting on ecclesiastical authority, I have said nothing. The Christian Church is as grand a fact in the world’s history as is the Bible, and with reference to the doctrine under con- sideration, the mind of the Church Universal has long displayed a perspicuity, explicitness, and uniformity of expression, of which the Bible is conspicuously destitute },’
This criticism is repeated by the ‘Clergyman’ in other, and _ sometimes less temperate, language elsewhere i,
Thus, for example: ‘I only contend that in Scripture alone, it {the doctrine of our Lord’s Divinity] has no adequate logical basis, and cannot possibly be deduced by methods of rational interpretation. Assume there is in the Church an authority, co-ordinate with, and in some respects superior to, Scripture, and, so far as I am concerned, the controversy is at an end. I
to justify its acceptance’ (p. 184), This reading is retained by Westcott and Hort, New Test., Cambr. 1881. h Examination, p. 2. 1 Thid. pp. 3, 27.

do not wish to enter upon the question whether the claims of Church authority can be satisfactorily vindicated. Mr. Liddon exposes himself to criticism by not avowing that he interprets from the ground of ecclesiastical light and prerogative, not from the ground of reason. He wants to be thought rational when he is ecclesiastical, but the two conditions are different; the latter is held by many to be the nobler and more enlightened condition, but it is specifically distinct from the formerj,’
Here, perhaps, it might be sufficient to reply that, as might be inferred from what has been already said, the real fault of the Lectures in the ‘Clergyman’s’ eyes is, that they assume that trustworthiness of Scripture which their critic impugns :-—‘ In assuming the Gospels, and more especially the last of them, to furnish verbally correct accounts of Christ’s sayings, Mr. Liddon has followed a method which vitiates all his reasonings. With the essentially Protestant and rational criticism by which time- honoured assumptions about the Bible have been besieged and curtailed, he makes only a semblance of grappling Κ᾿’
Again: ‘Unless we are content to resign our reason and judgment in deference to some higher authority, a choice between the guidance of the Fourth Gospel and the prior narrations is here forced upon us. From which are we to collect our dogmatic knowledge of Christ’s personal rank? The writer of the last Gospel does more than supplement his predecessors: if the orthodox interpretation of his language is right, he corrects them, and takes ground which convicts them not merely of reservation, but of ignorance and blundering on a vital point. For Protest- ants who hold Scripture to be the Divine and sufficient Rule of Faith, there is no way of escape: they must either esteem the Logos doctrine a misty speculation, or depress other portions of the New Testament, while they exalt what they conceive to be a contribution from St. John!
It may be needless to say that the Lecturer does not accept this account of the relation of St. John to the earlier Evangelists, and for reasons which appear to him to be very sufficient. He quotes this and the preceding passage in order to shew the real character of his difference with the ‘Clergyman.’ That differ- ence mainly turns, not as the ‘Clergyman’ suggests, upon the existence and character of the Church's authority in questions of doctrine, but upon the trustworthiness of Scripture as the most authoritative source of our knowledge of doctrine. The ‘ Clergy-

man’ at the same time, but unintentionally, misrepresents the attitude of the Bampton Lecturer towards Church authority. If the Lecturer had learnt from the Church of England that ‘ Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation ™,’ he had also learnt from her that the Church ‘hath authority in con- troversies of faith™’; and, in view of the real history of the formation of the Canon of the New Testament, the last proposi- tion is at least as reasonable and as certain as the first.
To accept the Church’s guidance in recognising the contents and the authoritative character of the Canon of Scripture, and then to refuse her any voice whatever in its interpretation, seems to the present writer impossible; and if he has, in his Lectures, appealed to the natural force of Scripture language, this has not been in any spirit of fancied independence of Church authority, but because he sincerely believes that there is no real antithesis between the judgments of that authority in ages when it was still unimpaired by division, and an honest criticism of the Sacred Text. The function of Church authority, as it was understood by such writers as St. Irenzeus, was not to add new doctrine to the Apostolic deposit, as the ‘Clergyman’ apparently supposes, but to shew what the Apostolic deposit really does contain; to take mankind, as it were, by the hand when ex- ploring the vast field of Scripture; to call attention to expres- sions, or occurrences, or lines of thought which might otherwise escape observation ; and thus to furnish the reader, not with additional material, but with a true point of view, and a sym- pathetic intellectual and moral temper, for discovering those profound unities and truths for the sake of which alone the Church sets value on Scripture at all. The Christian Revelation was in fact committed, not only to the pages of a Sacred Book, but to the guardianship of a Sacred Society; and the second factor can just as little be dispensed with as the first. If the Church may not contradict or exceed the teaching of the Book, the true authority and import of the Book cannot be long upheld apart from that illuminated consciousness of the Church, which originally recognised it as being the Word of God.
This consideration will perhaps explain a feature of the Lectures on which the ‘Clergyman’ has felt it to be his duty to comment, again and again, with much severity. The Lecturer has called attention very deliberately, not only to the great dogmatic passages in which Our Lord’s Divinity is expressly

taught, but to that much larger number of passages or even paragraphs in which it is so far implied that, while of themselves they do not prove the doctrine, they look, so to speak, towards it, and are read most naturally, if we assume that it is true. The ‘Clergyman’ often discusses the reference made to such passages in the Lectures, as if the Lecturer had appealed to them as dicta probantia, and had thus put a strain on them which, obviously,
they cannot bear. Their real place in the argument is supple-’
mental and subsidiary; and if they were not accompanied or rather introduced by explicit statements of another character, they could not be appealed to at all. But, as the Lecturer con- ceives, their cumulative force is very great, and as the ‘ Clergy- man’ truly observes, the Lecturer cannot be ‘charged with originating the use®’ which he has made of them. He has learnt this ‘use’ from the authority to which alone he owes it that he receives the Bible as the Word of God, in any serious sense, at
all; while reflection has not brought with it any distrust either _
of his teacher or her lessons..
At the same time the writer must not shrink from professing his conviction that, if there were no Church at all to guide him, the natural sense of such passages as Rom. ix. 5, or of Col. i. 15-17, or of St. John i. 1-14, is that our Lord Jesus Christ is of one Substance with the Father, Very and Eternal God. If the ‘Clergyman’ would consider Philippi’s P commentary on the first of these passages, or Bishop Lightfoot’s4 on the second, or Professor Westcott’st on the third, he would perhaps feel that there is more to be said in favour of this conclusion than he has hitherto been able to admit. But, in the absence of faith in the trustworthiness of Scripture, no critical insight into the real scope of its language would be of much service. According to the ‘ Clergyman,’ the ‘ really Scriptural position’ is, ‘ that Christ fills, in the scale of being, a place not perfectly defined, but cer- tainly above man, and as certainly beneath Gods.’ This, as he elsewhere says, is the Arian Creed; and it is open, as has been urged in these Lectures, to the grave objection that it could not have been held by serious Monotheists, such as were the Apostles of our Lord. But in a note the ‘Clergyman’ explains that the formula above cited is only tenable ‘if every statement

He adds ‘The Christ of an un- critical Biblical Protestantism is an Arian, superhuman Christ. The Christ of a critical Protestantism is a merely human, but extraordinarily endowed Christt. It is difficult to see why he should, upon the ‘Clergyman’s’ principles, be even as much as this: but the avowal shews that, even after the sense of Scrip- ture has been minimized by negative criticisms to a point which is fatal to all that is most precious in the Christian Creed, the little that remains is after all peremptorily rejected, and we are left with an estimate of the Divine Saviour of the world which might have been gathered not less readily from the Koran than from the New Testament.
Enough, perhaps, has been said to shew that the Lecturer has τ carefully considered what his critics have had to say about him. He has indeed read them through attentively. Aud if he does not farther accompany them, they will believe that this is not from any disrespect, but partly because a large book would be needed in order to discuss some far-reaching questions which they severally raise, and partly because, as has been already suggested, a large proportion of his differences with them in detail are due to earlier and deeper differences of principle. But there are some matters of detail which he has been led to reconsider in the light of their criticisms, and it is a pleasure to express his obligation to both of them, but especially to the ‘Clergyman,’ for corrections which his book thus owes to them, in its pre- sent form,
