Encyclopedia Britannica



BINGHAM, JOSEPH (1668-1723)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 948 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BINGHAM, JOSEPH (1668-1723) , English scholar and divine, was horn at Wakefield in Yorkshire in September 1668. He was educated at University College,
Oxford
 , of which he was made fellow in 1689 and tutor in 1691. A sermon preached by him from the university pulpit, St Mary's, on the meaning of the terms " Person " and " Substance " in the Fathers, brought upon him a most unjust accusation of heresy. He was compelled to give up his fellowship and leave the university; but he was immediately presented by Dr John Radcliffe to the rectory of Headbournworthy, near Winchester (1695). In this country retirement he began his laborious and valuable
work
  entitled Origines Ecclesiasticae, or Antiquities of the Christian
Church
 , the first volume of which appeared in 1708 and the tenth and last in 1722. His
design
 , learnediy, exhaustively and impartially executed, was " to give such a methodical account of the antiquities of the Christian
Church
  as others have done of the Greek and Roman and Jewish antiquities, by reducing the ancient customs, usages and practices of the church under certain proper heads, whereby the reader may take a view at once of any particular usage or custom of Christians for four or five centuries." Notwithstanding his learning and merit,
Bingham
  received nohigher preferment than that of Headbournworthy till 1712, when he was collated to the rectory of Havant, near Portsmouth, by Sir
Jonathan
  Trelawney,
bishop
  of Winchester. Nearly all his little property was lost in the
great
 
South
  Sea Bubble of 1720. He died on the 17th of August 1723.
