EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, John Harris, a prominent Churchman and the Principal of New College in London, is shown in the act of gesticulating animatedly, as if in the midst of a passionate sermon or impassioned debate. John Harris was born in 1802 and lived from 1802 to 1856, making him a significant figure in the religious and academic landscape of 19th century England. New College, which was founded in 1379, is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the United Kingdom. Harris served as its Principal from 1848 until his death in 1856, during a time of great change and transformation in both the Church of England and the broader society. Harris was not only a respected leader in the Church, but also a prolific author. One of his most notable works was "Mammon," a treatise on the dangers of material wealth and the importance of spiritual values. The title of the book is derived from the biblical phrase "You cannot serve both God and Mammon," and reflects Harris's deep concern for the moral and spiritual well-being of his fellow Christians. The image of Harris, with his expressive body language and intense gaze, conveys a sense of urgency and conviction. It is a powerful reminder of the passionate and often contentious debates that characterized the religious and intellectual life of 19th century England. At the same time, it offers a glimpse into the life and work of a remarkable man who dedicated himself to the service of the Church and the pursuit of knowledge. This photograph, taken in the 1800s, is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of New College and its Principal, John Harris. It invites us to reflect on the complex and often contradictory nature of human experience, and the enduring power of the written word to inspire and challenge us.
