Klappentext zu „The Life and Times of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles “
This book sheds light on the career of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, and in doing so touches on numerous aspects of nineteenth-century British and European religious history. Several recent scholars have celebrated the 200th anniversary of the German textual critic Tischendorf but Tregelles, his contemporary English rival, has been neglected, despite his achievements being comparable. In addition to his decisive contribution to Biblical textual scholarship, this study of Tregelles' career sheds light on developments among Quakers in the period, and Tregelles's enthusiastic involvement with the early nineteenth-century Welsh literary renaissance usefully supplements recent studies on Iolo Morganwg. The early career of Tregelles also gives valuable fresh detail to the origins of the Plymouth Brethren, (in both England and Italy) the study of whose early history has become more extensive over the last twenty years. The whole of Tregelles's career therefore illuminates neglected aspectsof Victorian religious life.

Pressezitat
"This neat, compact, enthusiastic biography surveys the life and work of Cornish auto-didact and pioneering biblical scholar Samuel Prideaux Tregelles ... . This work should appeal to specialists in the field of nineteenth-century biblical scholarship." (R. J. W. Mills, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 72 (1), January, 2021)"Stunt's book will be welcome to any reader with an interest in the history of the Plymouth Brethren or New Testament textual criticism as well as the Risorgimento, and certainly belongs in the libraries of universities, theology departments and seminaries. ... Stunt 'the last of the gentlemen scholars', a characterisation much in evidence in this book which illuminates the life and work of one of the nineteenth-century's pivotal scholars who deserves a far greater renown than historians generally accord him." (T J Marinello, European Journal of Theology, Vol. 30 (1), 2021)
