'''Brooke Foss Westcott''' (12 January 1825&nbsp;– 27 July 1901) was a British bishop, biblical scholar and theologian, serving as [[Bishop of Durham]] from 1890 until his death. He is perhaps most known for co-editing ''[[The New Testament in the Original Greek]]'' in 1881.


==Early life and education==
== Källor ==
He was born in [[Birmingham]]. His father, Frederick Brooke Westcott, was a [[botanist]]. Westcott was educated at [[King Edward's School, Birmingham|King Edward VI School]], Birmingham, under [[James Prince Lee]], where he became friends with [[Joseph Barber Lightfoot]], later Bishop of Durham.<ref name=ely/>
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooke_Foss_Westcott Engelska Wikipedia]


The period of Westcott's childhood was one of political ferment in Birmingham and amongst his earliest recollections was one of [[Thomas Attwood (economist)|Thomas Attwood]] leading a large procession of men to a meeting of the [[Birmingham Political Union]] in 1831. A few years after this [[Chartism]] led to serious disturbances in Birmingham and many years later Westcott would refer to the deep impression the experiences of that time had made upon him.{{sfn|Westcott|1903|p=7}}
[[Kategori:Biografier]]
 
In 1844, Westcott entered [[Trinity College, Cambridge]], where he was invited to join the [[Cambridge Apostles]]. He became a scholar in 1846, won a [[Browne medal]] for a [[Greek language|Greek]] ode in 1846 and 1847, and the Members' Prize for a [[Latin]] essay in 1847 and 1849. He took his BA degree in January 1848, obtaining double-first honours. In mathematics, he was twenty-fourth [[Wrangler (University of Cambridge)|wrangler]], [[Isaac Todhunter]] being senior. In classics, he was senior, being bracketed with Charles Broderick Scott, afterwards headmaster of [[Westminster School]].<ref>{{acad|id=WSTT844BF|name=Westcott, Brooke Foss}}</ref><ref>{{cite encyclopedia |editor-first=J.A. |editor-last=Wenn |title=Westcott, Brooke Foss |work=Alumni Cantabrigienses |publisher=Cambridge University Press |volume=Volume VI, Part II |page=411 |url=https://archive.org/stream/p2alumnicantabri06univuoft#page/411/mode/1up}}</ref><ref name=EB1911>{{cite EB1911 |last=Ryle |first=Herbert Edward |author-link=Herbert Edward Ryle |wstitle=Westcott, Brooke Foss |volume=28 |pages=537–38}}</ref>
 
==Early teaching career==
After obtaining his degree, Westcott remained in residence at Trinity. In 1849, he obtained his fellowship; and in the same year he was made deacon by his old headmaster, [[James Prince Lee|Prince Lee]], later [[Bishop of Manchester]]. In 1851 he was ordained and became an assistant master at [[Harrow School]].<ref name=ely/> As well as studying, Westcott took pupils at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]]; fellow readers included his school friend Lightfoot and two other men who became his attached and lifelong friends, [[Edward White Benson]] and [[Fenton Hort]]. The friendship with Lightfoot and Hort influenced his future life and work.<ref name=trinity>{{cite web |title=Brooke Foss Westcott |publisher=Trinity College Chapel |url=http://www.trinitycollegechapel.com/about/memorials/brasses/Westcott/}}</ref>
 
He devoted much attention to philosophical, patristic and historical studies, but his main interest was in [[New Testament]] work. In 1851, he published his Norrisian prize essay with the title ''Elements of the Gospel Harmony''.{{sfn|Westcott|1903|p=114}} The Cambridge University Norrisian Prize for theology was established in 1781 by the will of John Norris Esq of Whitton, Norfolk for the best essay by a candidate between the ages of twenty and thirty on a theological subject.<ref>{{cite book |last=Erlanger |first=Herbert J. |title=Origin And Development of The European Prize Medal to The End of The XVIIIth Century |publisher=Schuyt |location=Haarlem, Netherlands |date=1975 |page=62 |isbn=90-6097-057-8}}</ref>
 
He combined his school duties with his theological research and literary writings. He worked at Harrow for nearly twenty years under C.&nbsp;J. Vaughan and [[Henry Montagu Butler]], but he was never good at maintaining discipline among large numbers.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
==Early theological writings==
In 1855, he published the first edition of his ''History of the New Testament Canon'',<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=E7ICAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Brooke+Foss+Westcott&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwip_tulgb7bAhVpqlkKHYSoB5wQ6AEITjAG#v=onepage&q=Brooke%20Foss%20Westcott&f=false Westcott, Brooke Foss. ''A general survey of the history of the canon of the New Testament during the first four centuries'', Cambridge, Macmillan & Co., 1855]</ref> which, frequently revised and expanded, became the standard English work on the subject. In 1859, there appeared his ''Characteristics of the Gospel Miracles''.
 
In 1860, he expanded his ''Elements of the Gospel Harmony'' essay into an ''Introduction to the Study of the Gospels''. Westcott's work for Smith's ''Dictionary of the Bible'', notably his articles on "Canon," "Maccabees", and "Vulgate," led to the composition of his subsequent popular books, ''The Bible in the Church'' (1864) and a ''History of the English Bible'' (1869). To the same period belongs ''The Gospel of the Resurrection'' (1866). It recognised the claims of historical science and pure reason. At the time when the book appeared, his method of apologetic showed originality, but was impaired by the difficulty of the style.{{Citation needed|date = January 2015}}
 
In 1865, he took his B.D., and in 1870, his D.D. Later, he received honorary degrees of DC.L. from Oxford (1881) and of D.D. from Edinburgh (1883). In 1868, Westcott was appointed examining chaplain by Bishop Connor Magee (of Peterborough); and in the following year he accepted a canonry at Peterborough, which forced him to leave Harrow.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
==Regius Professorship of Divinity, Cambridge==
For a time he was enthusiastic about a cathedral life, devoted to the pursuit of learning and to the development of opportunities for the religious and intellectual benefit of the diocese. But the [[Regius Professor of Divinity|Regius Professorship of Divinity]] at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]] fell vacant, and [[Joseph Barber Lightfoot|J. B. Lightfoot]], who was then [[Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity|Hulsean Professor]], refused it in favour of Westcott. It was due to Lightfoot's support almost as much as to his own great merits that Westcott was elected to the chair on 1 November 1870.<ref name=CCEL>[http://www.ccel.org/ccel/wescott "Brooke Foss Westcott", CCEL]</ref>
 
Westcott now occupied a position for which he was suited. He played a leading part in raising the standard of theological study in the University. Supported by his friends Lightfoot and [[Fenton John Anthony Hort|Hort]], he reformed the regulations for degrees in divinity and was responsible for the formation and first revision of the new theology tripos. He planned lectures and organised the new Divinity School and Library.
 
He worked hard and forwent many of the privileges of a university career so that his studies might be more continuous and that he might see more of his students.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
===Lectures===
His lectures were generally on Biblical subjects. His ''Commentaries on St John's Gospel'' (1881), on the ''Epistle to the Hebrews'' (1889), and the ''Epistles of St John'' (1883), resulted from his public lectures.
 
One of his most valuable works,'' The Gospel of Life'' (1892), a study of Christian doctrine, incorporated the materials upon which he delivered a series of more private and esoteric lectures on week-day evenings. Lecturing was an intense strain to him, but his influence was immense: to attend one of Westcott's lectures was an experience which encouraged those to whom the references to [[Origen]] or [[Rupert of Deutz]] were unintelligible.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
===New Testament textual studies===
Between 1870 and 1881, Westcott was also continually engaged in [[Textual criticism|text critical]] work for an edition of the New Testament and, simultaneously, in the preparation of a new text in conjunction with Hort. The years in which Westcott, Lightfoot and Hort could thus meet frequently and naturally for the discussion of the work in which they were all three so deeply engrossed formed a happy and privileged period in their lives.
 
In the year 1881, there appeared the famous [[The New Testament in the Original Greek|Westcott and Hort text]] of the New Testament, upon which had been expended nearly thirty years of incessant labour.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
===Educational reformer===
The reforms in the regulations for degrees in divinity, the formation and first revision of the new theological tripos, the inauguration of the [[Cambridge Mission to Delhi]] and the subsequent founding of [[St. Stephen's College, Delhi]], the institution of the Church Society (for the discussion of theological and ecclesiastical questions by the younger men), the meetings for the divinity faculty, the organisation of the new Divinity School and Library and, later, the institution of the Cambridge Clergy Training School (renamed [[Westcott House, Cambridge|Westcott House]] in 1901 in his honour), were all, in a very real degree, the result of Westcott's energy and influence as Regius professor.<ref name=ely>[http://www.ely.anglican.org/about/good_and_great/bfwestcott.html "Brooke Foss Westcott", Diocese of Ely] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141208071702/http://www.ely.anglican.org/about/good_and_great/bfwestcott.html |date=8 December 2014 }}</ref> To this list should also be added the Oxford and Cambridge preliminary examination for candidates for holy orders, with which he was from the first most closely identified.
 
The departure of Lightfoot to become Bishop of [[Durham, England|Durham]] in 1879 was a great blow to Westcott. Nevertheless, it resulted in bringing him into still greater prominence. He was compelled to take the lead in matters where Lightfoot's more practical nature had previously been predominant.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
===Canonry at Westminster Abbey===
In 1883, Westcott was elected to a professorial fellowship at King's. Shortly afterwards, having previously resigned his canonry at Peterborough, he was appointed by the crown to a canonry at [[Westminster Abbey]], and accepted the position of examining chaplain to Archbishop Benson.
 
His little edition of the ''Paragraph Psalter'' (1879), arranged for the use of choirs, and his lectures on the Apostles' Creed, entitled ''Historic Faith'' (1883), are reminiscences of his vacations spent at [[Peterborough]]. He held his canonry at Westminster in conjunction with the regius professorship.
 
The strain of the joint work was very heavy, and the intensity of the interest and study which he brought to bear upon his share in the labours of the Ecclesiastical Courts Commission, of which he had been appointed a member, added to his burden.
 
Preaching at Westminster Abbey gave him an opportunity of dealing with social questions. His sermons were generally portions of a series; and to this period belong the volumes ''Christus Consummator'' (1886) and ''Social Aspects of Christianity'' (1887).<ref name=EB1911/> Westcott's presidency of the Christian Social Union from 1889 did much to draw mainstream, respectable churchgoers into calling for justice for the poor and unemployed in the face of the predominant laissez-faire economic policies.<ref>{{cite web |title=History |publisher=Westcott House |url=http://www.westcott.cam.ac.uk/history/}}</ref>
 
==Bishop of Durham==
[[File:Bishop Brooke Foss Westcott.jpg|thumb|Bishop Westcott shown standing in front of Durham Cathedral in a window in [[All Saints Church, Cambridge]].]]
In March 1890, he was nominated to follow in the steps of his beloved friend Lightfoot, who had died in December 1889. His election was confirmed by [[Robert Crosthwaite]], [[Bishop of Beverley]] (acting as commissioner for the Archbishop of York) on 30 April at [[York Minster]]<ref>{{cite book |last=Westcott |first=Arthur |date=1903 |title=Life and Letters of Brooke Foss Westcott |url=https://archive.org/stream/a613719002westuoft#page/n7/mode/2up |volume=II |page=98 |access-date=22 July 2014 |ref=none}}</ref> and he was consecrated on 1 May at Westminster Abbey by [[William Thomson (bishop)|William Thompson]], [[Archbishop of York]], Hort being the preacher, and enthroned at [[Durham Cathedral]] on 15 May.
 
Contrary to his reputation as recluse and a mystic, he took a practical interest in the mining population of Durham<ref name=CCEL/> and in the  shipping and artisan industries of [[Sunderland, Tyne and Wear|Sunderland]] and [[Gateshead]]. On occasion in 1892 he succeeded in bringing to a peaceful solution a long and bitter strike which had divided the masters and men in the Durham collieries.
 
He has been described as a [[Christian socialism|Christian socialist]]<ref>{{cite book |last=Thompson |first=Noel |year=2015 |title=Social Opulence and Private Restraint: The Consumer in British Socialist Thought Since 1800 |location=Oxford |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=63 |isbn=978-0-19-101684-4}}</ref> and was a staunch supporter of the co-operative movement. He was practically the founder of the [[Christian Social Union (UK)|Christian Social Union]]. He continually insisted upon the necessity of promoting the cause of foreign missions; four of his sons went on to do missionary work for the Church in India.<ref name=Sharpe>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Sharpe |first= Eric J. |title=Westcott, Brooke |editor-last=Anderson |editor-first=Gerald H. |work=Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oQ8BFk9K0ToC&pg=PA724 |year=1999 |publisher=Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing |isbn=978-0-8028-4680-8 |page=724}}</ref>
 
He was energetic to the very end, but during the last two or three years of his life he aged considerably. His wife died suddenly in May 1901, and he dedicated to her memory his last book, ''Lessons from Work'' (1901). He preached a farewell sermon to the miners in Durham Cathedral at their [[Durham Miners' Gala|annual festival]] on 20 July. Then came a short, sudden and fatal illness.<ref name=EB1911/> He was buried in the chapel of Auckland Castle.<ref name=Sharpe/>
 
==Family==
Westcott married, in 1852, Sarah Louisa Mary Whithard (ca 1830–1901), daughter of Thomas Middlemore Whithard, of Bristol. Mrs Westcott was for many years deeply interested in foreign missionary work. She became an invalid in her later years, and died on 28 May 1901.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=Obituary |day_of_week=Wednesday |date=29 May 1901 |page_number=4 |issue=36467}}</ref> They had seven sons and three daughters, including [[Frederick Westcott|Frederick]], who followed his father into the ministry in the Church of England, was headmaster of [[Sherborne School]], [[Archdeacon of Norwich]], and author of multiple books on the Letters of Saint Paul;<ref>{{cite book|last=Westcott |first=Frederick Brooke|title=Colossians: A Letter to Asia|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V-lJAwAAQBAJ&pg=PP1|year=2007|publisher=Wipf and Stock |isbn=978-1-55635-169-3|chapter=Foreword|others="Foreword" by Cyril J. Barber}}</ref> [[George Westcott|George]], [[Diocese of Lucknow of the Church of North India|Bishop of Lucknow]]; and [[Foss Westcott|Foss]], who became [[Diocese of Calcutta of the Church of North India|Bishop of Calcutta]] and Metropolitan of India.
 
==Legacy and influence==
Westcott was not a narrow specialist. He loved poetry, music and art.  His literary sympathies were wide. He would never tire of praising [[Euripides]], and studied the writings of [[Robert Browning]]. He was also said to be a talented [[drawing|draughtsman]], and used often to say that if he had not taken orders he would have become an architect. He followed with delight the development of [[natural science]] studies at Cambridge. He spared no pains to be accurate, or to widen the basis of his thought. Thus he devoted one summer vacation to the careful analysis of [[Auguste Comte]]'s ''Politique positive''.
 
He studied assiduously The [[Sacred Books of the East]], and earnestly contended that no systematic view of Christianity could afford to ignore the philosophy of other religions. The outside world was wont to regard him as a mystic; and the mystical, or sacramental, view of life enters, it is true, very largely into his teaching. He had in this respect many points of similarity with the [[Cambridge Platonists]] of the 17th century, and with [[John Frederick Denison Maurice|F. D. Maurice]], for whom he had profound regard.<ref name=EB1911/> An amusing instance of his unworldliness was his observation that, "I never went to [[Epsom Derby|the Derby]]. Once, though, I nearly did: I happened to be passing through [[Derby]], that very day".<ref>{{cite book|last=Madan|first=Geoffrey |editor-last1=Gere |editor-first1=John A. |editor-last2=Sparrow |editor-first2=John |title=Geoffrey Madan's Notebooks: A Selection |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rFcCqAAACAAJ&pg=PA19|year=1981|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-215870-3|page=19}}</ref>
 
He was a strong supporter of Church reform, especially in the direction of obtaining larger powers for the laity.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
He kept himself aloof from all party strife. He describes himself when he says:
{{quote|text=The student of Christian doctrine, because he strives after exactness of phrase, because he is conscious of the inadequacy of any one human formula to exhaust the truth, will be filled with sympathy for every genuine endeavour towards the embodiment of right opinion. Partial views attract and exist in virtue of the fragment of truth—be it great or small—which they include; and it is the work of the theologian to seize this no less than to detect the first spring of error. It is easier and, in one sense, it is more impressive to make a peremptory and exclusive statement, and to refuse to allow any place beside it to divergent expositions; but this show of clearness and power is dearly purchased at the cost of the ennobling conviction that the whole truth is far greater than our individual minds. He who believes that every judgement on the highest matters different from his own is simply a heresy must have a mean idea of the faith; and while the qualifications, the reserve, the lingering sympathies of the real student make him in many cases a poor controversialist, it may be said that a mere controversialist cannot be a real theologian<ref>{{cite book |last=Westcott |first=Brooke Foss |title=Lessons from Work |pages=84–85}}</ref>}}
 
His theological work assigned great importance to Divine Revelation in Holy Scripture and in the teaching of history. His own studies have largely contributed in England to their current understanding of the doctrines of the Resurrection and the Incarnation. His work in conjunction with Hort upon the Greek text of the New Testament will endure as what is thought to be one of the greatest achievements of English Biblical criticism. The principles which are explained in Hort's introduction to the text had been arrived at after years of elaborate investigation and continual correspondence and discussion between the two friends. The place which it almost at once took among scientific scholars in Britain and throughout Europe was a recognition of the great advance which it represented in the use and classification of ancient authorities. His commentaries rank with Lightfoot's as the best type of Biblical exegesis produced by the English Church in the 19th century.<ref name=EB1911/>
 
A portrait of Westcott by William Edwards Miller is in the collection of [[Trinity College, Cambridge]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Trinity College, University of Cambridge|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/search/located_at/trinity-college-cambridge-5846_locations|publisher=BBC Your Paintings|access-date=14 February 2018|archive-url=https://archive.is/20140511164255/http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/search/located_at/trinity-college-cambridge-5846_locations#|archive-date=11 May 2014|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
 
Brooke Foss Westcott is [[Calendar of saints (Church of England)|remembered]] in the [[Church of England]] with a [[Commemoration (Anglicanism)|commemoration]] on [[July 27|27 July]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Calendar|url=https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/worship-texts-and-resources/common-worship/churchs-year/calendar|access-date=2021-03-27|website=The Church of England|language=en}}</ref>
 
==Controversy==
Some American fundamentalists have denounced Westcott's and Hort's Greek text of the Bible as corrupt. Most of these critics subscribe to the [[King James Only movement]]. King James Only author [[Gail Riplinger]] quotes them in her book ''New Age Bible Versions''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Riplinger|first=G. A.|title=New Age Bible Versions|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=to4xAAAACAAJ&pg=PP1|year=1993|publisher=A.V. Publications|isbn=978-0-9635845-0-2}}</ref> In it, she accuses Westcott of being involved in the occult. However, Westcott himself wrote,
 
{{quote|Many years ago I had occasion to investigate "spiritualistic" phenomena with some care, and I came to a clear conclusion, which I feel bound to express in answer to your circular. It appears to me that in this, as in all spiritual questions, Holy Scripture is our supreme guide. I observe, then, that while spiritual ministries are constantly recorded in the Bible, there is not the faintest encouragement to seek them. The case, indeed, is far otherwise. I cannot, therefore, but regard every voluntary approach to beings such as those who are supposed to hold communication with men through mediums as unlawful and perilous. I find in the fact of the Incarnation all that man (so far as I can see) requires for life and hope.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=B.F. |last=Westcott |title=The Response to the Appeal |magazine=[[Borderland (magazine)|Borderland]] |volume=I |issue=1 |date=July 1893 |page=11}} cited in {{cite web |first=James |last=May |title=Westcott and the Ghostly Guild |publisher=[[King James Only movement|King James Only Resource Center]] |url=http://www.kjvonly.org/james/may_westcott_ghostly_guild.htm}}</ref>}}
