Contents:
William George de Burgh (1866-1933) : reason, morality and religion -- Walter Robert Matthews (1881-1973) : experience, rationality and revelation -- Oliver Chase Quick (1885-1944) : philosophy, theology, ecumenism -- Herbert Arthur Hodges (1905-1976) : Christian philosopher, believing sceptic -- Comparisons, contrasts and assessment.
Summary: Alan Sell explores the lives and ideas of four neglected Anglican philosophers: W.G. De Burgh (1866-1943); W.R. Matthews (1881-1973); O.C. Quick (1885-1944); H.A. Hodges (1905-1976). Sell argues that these writers covered a wide range of philosophical topics in an illuminating way, and that a comparison of their respective standpoints and methods is instructive from the point of view of the viability or otherwise of Christian philosophizing. He discusses the challenges these four philosophical Anglicans issued to certain important trends in the philosophy and theology of their day, and argues that some of them are of continuing relevance. --From publisher's description.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
