Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THOMSON, WILLIAM (1819-189o) , English divine, archbishop of
York
 , was born on the 11th of February 1819 at Whitehaven, Cumberland. He was educated at Shrewsbury and at Queen's College, Oxford, of which he became a scholar. He took his B.A. degree in 184o, and was soon afterwards made fellow of his college. He was ordained in 1842, and worked as a curate at Cuddesdon. In 1847 he was made tutor of his college, and in 1853 he delivered the Bampton lectures, his subject being " The Atoning
Work
  of Christ viewed in Relation to some Ancient Theories." These thoughtful and learned lectures established his reputation and did much to clear the ground for subsequent discussions on the subject. Thomson's activity was not confined to theology. He was made fellow of the Royal and the Royal Geographical Societies. He also wrote a very popular Outline of the Laws of Thought. He sided with the party at Oxford which favoured university reform, but this did not prevent him from being appointed provost of his college in 1855 In 1858 he was made preacher at Lincoln's Inn and there preached some striking sermons, a volume of which he published in 1861. In the same year he edited Aids to Faith, a volume written in opposition to Essays and Reviews, the progressive sentiments of which had stirred up a great storm in the Church of England. In December 1861 he was rewarded with the see of Gloucester and Bristol, and within a twelvemonth he was elevated to the archiepiscopal see of
York
 . In this position his moderate orthodoxy led him to join Archbishop Tait in supporting the Public
Worship
  Regulation Act, and, as president of the northern convocation, he came frequently into
sharp
  collision with the lower house of that
body
 . But if he thus incuned the hostility of the High Church party among the clergy, he was admired by the laity for his strong sense, his clear and forcible reasoning, and his wide knowledge, and he remained to the last a power in the north of England. In his later years he published an address read before the members of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution (1868), one on Design in Nature, for the Christian Evidence Society, which reached a fifth edition, various charges and
pastoral
  addresses, and he was one of the projectors of The Speaker's Commentary, for which he wrote the " Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels." He died on the 25th of December 1890.
See the Quarterly Review (April 1892).
