| Theologian, born in Pusey, Oxfordshire, SC England, UK. He studied at Oxford, where he became professor of Hebrew in 1828, retaining the position until his death. His main aim was to prevent the spread of Rationalism in England, and he joined Newman in the Oxford Movement (1833), contributing several tracts, notably those on baptism and the Eucharist. After Newman's conversion, he became the leader of the Movement, defending his own position in several publications. |
