Now almost forgotten, Oliver Chase Quick (1885-1944) was one of the foremost and most widely read British theologians of his day. Oliver Quick and the Quest for a Christian Metaphysic offers the first major study of his work, giving extensive attention to Quick's understanding of the task of theology, his christology, sacramental theology and doctrine of God. Expanding the narrative of twentieth-century historical theology, this book draws conclusions about longer-term shifts in English theology in the last century, making a particular case for the persistence and vitality of a philosophically oriented Anglican theology in the face of neo-orthodoxy and philosophical positivism. As such, it will be of interest to anyone studying currents in twentieth-century English theology, and its leading figures from the first half of the century as well as those with an interest in philosophical theology, systematic theology and Christian doctrine.
