The Abelardian Doctrine of the Atonement - St Mary's Oxford, 1892.
“The purpose and cause of the Incarnation was this, that Christ should illumine the world by His wisdom and kindle it to the love of Himself.”

The Idea of Sacrifice - University Chapel, Aberdeen, January 16, 1898.

"Let us only think of the death of Christ – the crowning act in a whole life of sacrifice–as giving new life to the world, renewing its spiritual and moral being by a life of love such as had never been lived before and has not been lived since. . ."

to Hone

Penitence and Penitential Seasons - preached on a weekday in Lent, 1899-1904, probably in the Chapel of Lincoln's Inn.
"And if our repentance is to be of this kind, it is clear that it will come not by brooding over the past, but by lifting up our hearts to higher ideals, aspirations, examples. Is not that the real meaning of the Atonement. . . ."

from Inge
from Leigh

"They are too catholic for the limited Protestant; too rational for the Ritualist; too liberal for both, & too dogmatic for the Broad man. . . . ."

Article
On R C Moberly's "Personality and Atonement"
. . . I have also been writing an article on Moberly’s ‘Atonement and Personality’ which I am sorry to say seems to me to be a very bad book.
