Handley Carr Glyn Moule (1841–1920) succeeded B. F. Westcott as the bishop of Durham. Although he was a profound scholar, he could speak and write for ordinary people. Moule called himself an evangelical but was understanding of other views.
Moule was educated at home prior to attending university at Cambridge. He was ordained in 1867 and was made curate at Fordington before being appointed as dean of Trinity College at Cambridge (1873–1876). During his tenure at Cambridge, he became first principal of Ridley Hall Theological College in 1881 and Norrisian professor of divinity in 1899.
In 1898, he became honorary chaplain to Queen Victoria, and in 1900, he represented evangelicals at the Round Table Conference on Holy Communion. Moule later chaired the missionary section of the Pan-Anglican Congress and was closely associated with the Keswick Convention.
Bishop Moule’s works include expositions and commentaries on nearly all the epistles, as well as books on devotion. He is the author of the popular Doctrine of Man, Outlines of Christian Doctrine (a down-to-earth work on theology), and he contributed to The Fundamentals (4 vols.).
