ABSTRACT
Charles Gore was the leading proponent of Anglican liberal Catholicism, and he sought to put the universal and catholic faith 'in a right relation to modern intellectual and moral problems'. He describes the interplay of divine grace and human nature through the inspiration of the church and Christians, and likewise offers an intense and balanced theological example of the synthesis of Scripture, tradition, and reason. The Lux Mundi contributors were young Oxford Anglican teachers who "felt a common discipleship towards the Tractarian Movement, and a common desire to grapple with the intellectual questions which Christians had to face at the time. Gore 'sincerely hoped that Liddon would not seriously disapprove, which would be a great misery. Gore begins his chapter in Lux Mundi on "The Holy Spirit and Inspiration" with appreciation for the appeal to experience in religion. Gore explains "Montanism, with its pagan idea of inspiration, as an ecstasy which deprived its subject of reason.
