Abstract | Donald MacKinnon once argued that the Victorian and Edwardian sermons of Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) remained theologically relevant during the nuclear age of the 1950s. Following his lead, I argue that Scott Holland’s theological message continues to remain relevant to the political situation of 2025. Examining the theological responses of John Milbank and David Bentley Hart to the recent renewal of Neo-Thomist integralism in some US postliberal circles, I explore how Scott Holland’s theology adumbrated, anticipated, and prepared the way for today’s critiques of right wing and separatist Catholic integralist communitarianism. Particular focus is placed on Scott Holland’s theology of the supernatural, and how this enabled him to develop, via the Incarnationalism of Lux Mundi, a theology of radically inclusive Christian socialism. |
