Born in Dorset in 1841, Handley Carr Glyn Moule was an English Anglican theologian, poet, and church leader. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, and became known for his strong evangelical faith, clear teaching, and unusually gentle, pastoral style.
Much of his career was tied to Cambridge, where he served at Ridley Hall and later as principal. In 1901 he became Bishop of Durham, a post he held until his death in 1920. Alongside his ministry, he wrote prolifically—producing devotional books, theological works, commentaries, hymns, and poems that were widely read in his lifetime.
Moule is often remembered as a writer who tried to join careful thought with personal devotion. That combination helped his work endure, especially among readers interested in Anglican evangelical history and practical Christian spirituality.
