Historique
(John) Frederick Denison Maurice was born in Suffolk into a Unitarian family. He was educated at Trinity College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and studied for the bar, but became a journalist instead of a lawyer. In the late 1820s his religious beliefs changed and he decided to become an Anglican clergyman. He studied at Exeter College, Oxford, before being ordained in 1834. Maurice was much involved with the theological issues and religious controversies of his day, and was known as a Christian socialist and for his views on hell and on the nature of divine revelation. He held a chair in casuistry, moral theology and moral philosophy at Cambridge from 1866 to 1869.
