H. C. G. (Handley Carr Glyn) Moule

Born in Dorset in 1841, he was educated at home and later at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he distinguished himself in classics and theology. He went on to serve in several important academic and church roles, including Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge, Norrisian Professor of Divinity, and eventually Bishop of Durham, a post he held from 1901 until his death in 1920.

He wrote widely on the New Testament, Christian doctrine, and the spiritual life, and became especially valued among evangelical Anglicans for his clear teaching and gentle, devotional style. Alongside his scholarly work, he was also a poet and hymn writer, and many readers have appreciated the way his writing joins learning with personal faith.

Remembered as both a church leader and a pastor-scholar, his work has continued to attract readers interested in classic Anglican theology and practical Christian devotion. His books often speak in an earnest, accessible voice that still feels personal more than a century later.
