How should the church live with the tension between classic doctrine and modern learning? Bishop Charles Gore wrestled with that question throughout his life. Gore offended many conservative Anglicans by arguing that Christians need to take the findings of modern biblical scholarship more seriously, even if it challenges cherished beliefs. Conversely, Gore threatened to resign from his bishopric and devote his life to fighting heresy when a number of Anglican theologians denied the Virgin Birth and the physical Resurrection. Gore’s writings reflect that tension. From the controversial Dissertations on Subjects Connected with the Incarnation to the more conservative The Body of Christ, Gore challenges all Christians to grow in their faith by engaging with the world around them.
