Encyclopedia Britannica



WILLIAMS, ROWLAND (1817-1870)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 683 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WILLIAMS, ROWLAND (1817-1870) , English divine and scholar, was born at Halkyn, Flint, the son of Rowland Williams (d. 1854), canon of St Asaph, and educated at Eton and Cam-bridge. He was elected fellow of King's College,
Cambridge
 , in 1839, and took orders in 1842. During the next few years he actively opposed the amalgamation of the
sees
  of St Asaph and Bangor. In 1850 he became vice-principal and Hebrew lecturer at St
David
 's College, Lampeter, where he introduced much-needed educational and
financial
  reforms. He was appointed select preacher of
Cambridge
  University in 1854, and preached a sermon on inspiration, afterwards published in his Rational Godliness after the Mind of Christ and the Written Voices of the Church (London, 1855). He was charged with heterodoxy, and Alfred 011ivant (1798-1882), bishop of
Llandaff
 , required him to resign his chaplaincy, but he remained at the college in spiteof these difficulties. His views were further defined in Christianity and Hinduism (Cambridge, 1856), an expansion of the Muir prize essay which he had won in 1848. He became
vicar
  in 1858 of Broadchalke with Bowerchalke and Alvedistone, Wiltshire. As a result of his favourable
review
  of Bunsen's " Biblical Re-searches " contributed to Essays and Reviews (186o) he was prosecuted for heterodoxy. An unfavourable judgment was given by the Canterbury Court of Arches in 1862, but reversed by the Privy Council in 1864. Williams died on the 18th of January 187o.
Besides the above works his most important production was a
translation
  of the Hebrew Prophets with commentary (pt. i. 1866; pt. ii. edited by Mrs Williams 1871; pt. iii. though planned was never written). See Life and Letters, edited by Mrs Williams (2 vols., 1874) ; and T. K.
Cheyne
 , Founders of Old Testament Criticism (1893).
