CAMPBELL, REGINALD See also:JOHN (1867— ) , See also:British Congregationalist divine, son of a See also:United See also:Free Methodist See also:minister of Scottish descent, was See also:born in See also:London, and educated at See also:schools in See also:Bolton and See also:Nottingham, where his See also:father successively removed, and in See also:Belfast, the See also:home of his grandfather. At an See also:early See also:age he taught in the high school at See also:Ashton, See also:Cheshire, and was already married when in 1891 he went to See also:Christchurch, See also:Oxford, where he graduated in 1895 in the honours school of See also:modern See also:history. He had gone to Oxford with the intention of becoming a See also:clergy-See also:man in the See also:Church of See also:England, but in spite of the See also:influence of See also:Bishop See also:Gore, then See also:head of the See also:Pusey See also:House, and of See also:Dean See also:Paget (afterwards bishop of Oxford), his Scottish and Irish See also:Nonconformist See also:blood was too strong, and he abandoned the See also:idea in See also:order to take up See also:work in the Congregational See also:ministry. He accepted a See also:call, on leaving Oxford, to the small Congregational church in See also:Union See also:Street, See also:Brighton, and quickly became famous there as a preacher, so much so that on See also:Joseph See also:Parker's See also:death he was chosen as his successor (1903) at the See also:City See also:Temple, London. Here he notably enhanced his popularity as a preacher, and became one of the recognized leaders of Nonconformist See also:opinion. At the end of 1906 he attracted widespread See also:attention by his vigorous See also:propagation of what was called the " New See also:Theology," a restatement of See also:Christian beliefs to harmonize with modern See also:critical views and beliefs, and published a See also:book with this See also:title which gave rise to considerable discussion.
