HATCH, See also:EDWIN (1835-1889) , See also:English theologian, was See also:born at See also:Derby on the 14th of See also:September 1835, and was educated at See also:King See also:Edward's school, See also:Birmingham, under See also:James See also:Prince See also:Lee, afterwards See also:bishop of See also:Manchester. He had many struggles to pass through in See also:early See also:life, which tended to discipline his See also:character and to See also:form the habits of severe study and the See also:mental See also:independence for which he came to be distinguished. Hatch became See also:scholar of See also:Pembroke See also:College, See also:Oxford, took a second-class in See also:classics in 1857, and won the Ellerton See also:prize in 1858. He was See also:professor of classics in Trinity College, See also:Toronto, from 1859 to 1862, when he became See also:rector of the high school at See also:Quebec. In 1867 he returned to Oxford, and was made See also:vice-See also:principal of St See also:Mary See also:Hall, a See also:post which he held until 1885. In 1883 he was presented to the living of Purleigh in See also:Essex, and in 1884 was appointed university reader in ecclesiastical See also:history. In 188o he was See also:Bampton lecturer, and from 188o to 1884 Grinfield lecturer on the See also:Septuagint. In 1883 the university of See also:Edinburgh conferred on him the D.D. degree. He was the first editor of the university See also:official See also:Gazette (1879), and of the Student's See also:Hand-See also:book to the University. A reputation acquired through certain contributions to the See also:Dictionary of See also:Christian Antiquities was confirmed by his See also:treatises On the Organization of the Early Christian Chierches (1881, his Bampton lectures), and on The See also:Influence of See also:Greek Ideas and Usages on the Christian See also:Church (the Hibbert lectures for 1888). These See also:works provoked no little See also:criticism on See also:account of the See also:challenge they threw down to the high-church party, but the See also:research and fairness displayed were admitted on all hands. The Bampton lectures were translated into See also:German by See also:Harnack.

Among his other works are The Growth of Church Institutions (1887); Essays in Biblical Greek (1889); A See also:

Concordance to the Septuagint (in collaboration with H. A. Redpath); Towards See also:Fields of See also:Light (See also:verse, 1889); The See also:God of See also:Hope (sermons with memoir, 1890). Hatch died on the loth of See also:November 1889. An appreciation by W. Sanday appeared in The Expositor for See also:February 189o.
