Henry Scott Holland

    Henry Scott Holland was an influential theologian and Anglican priest whose early academic career was marked by struggle until he was influenced by philosophical ideas. Profoundly affected by the social problems he witnessed in London's slums, he became convinced of the need for fundamental change within the church. Holland advocated for a more pragmatic approach to Christianity, one that focused on lived experience and social justice rather than mere contemplation. His work emphasized the necessity of reforming social structures and placing labor and capital on a more equitable footing, stressing that duty to God and duty to humanity were intrinsically linked.
