1778 Apostles Bishop Churchman Creed Stuff Suchlike Explanations
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Portrait of John Hornyold (1699-1778), Churchman and Author of "Explanations of the Apostles' Creed" John Hornyold, born in 1699, was a prominent Churchman and Bishop of Philomelia during the 18th century. He is best known for his significant contributions to theological literature, particularly his work "Explanations of the Apostles' Creed," which became a widely-used catechism in the Anglican Church. Hornyold's early life and education are not extensively documented, but it is known that he was ordained a priest in the Church of England and rose through the ranks to become a bishop. His literary career began in earnest with the publication of "Explanations of the Apostles' Creed," which aimed to provide a clear and accessible explanation of the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. This work was well-received and went through numerous editions, making Hornyold a respected figure in theological circles. In addition to his work on the Apostles' Creed, Hornyold also wrote other theological treatises, including "A Practical Discourse on the Lord's Prayer" and "A Discourse on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper." These works reflected his deep understanding of Christian doctrine and his commitment to making complex theological concepts accessible to a broad audience. Despite his literary achievements, Hornyold's life was not without controversy. In 1754, he was involved in a public dispute with the philosopher and theologian, Samuel Clarke, over the nature of the Trinity. This debate, which drew widespread attention, highlighted the importance of theological debates in the intellectual life of the time. This portrait of John Hornyold, taken around 1778, captures the intellectual and spiritual depth of a man who dedicated his life to the study and teaching of the Christian faith. His works continue to be read and studied today, making him an enduring figure in the history of Anglican theology.
