The one which Neander understands to mean adopted in the text seems more pronot born of a woman. Cf. Harvey's bable in itself and more suitable to Irenaut, I. p. 197. A similar view the context. was afterwards held by Marcion. Epiphanius (Har, xxiii. 2) adds. The Latin translation of Irenseus 8vo yhp ireirAdVflai &t' ipxris kvBpti renders 'propter hoc quod dissolvere Ttovs iptiiTKti. eVa ayaObv Kal era tpavav. voluerint Patrem ejus omnes prin-Siv fiio that ra, yivn Tw avBpuirair cipes.' But the Greek text, as pre-iv K6apLtf, &, yaB6v T Kal irovij/xSv. angel, the enemy of the makers of the world, and especially of the God of the Jews.'1 In this description it is not difficult to discern the Persian accretions engrafted by Saturninus on the original teaching of Simon and Menander. The seven angels who made the world are obviously borrowed from Ormuzd and his six Amshaspands; only instead of being placed, as in the Zoroastrian system, as the highest rank of the celestial hierarchy, they are degraded to the extreme verge of the kingdom of light,2 and regarded as alienated from the Supreme Father, though hostile to the powers of darkness. A supposition of this kind was necessary in the scheme of Saturninus in order to make room for the work of the Saviour, just as in the theory of Simon and others, borrowed from the Alexandrian Judaism, the creation of the world is transferred from the Logos to an inferior order of emanated powers.

Henry Longueville Mansel (1820-1871), Anglican theologian and philosopher, has wrongly been remembered as a Kantian agnostic whose ideas led to those of Herbert Spencer. Francesca Norman’s book provides a thorough revisioning of Mansel’s theology in context and reveals the personal basis of Spencer’s animus towards Mansel. Mansel is revealed as an orthodox Anglican theistic personalist whose ideas inspired Newman to write his Grammar of Assent. Located in context, Mansel’s personal connections with leading Tory figures such as Lord Carnarvon and Benjamin Disraeli are explored. Key controversies with Frederick Denison Maurice and John Stuart Mill are interpreted with reference to the party political elections of 1859 and 1865. Norman offers a vital vision of nineteenth-century theology, philosophy, and politics.
