The book explores the controversy surrounding Bishop Colenso, who was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the mid-19th century.

The Declaration reaffirmed the Church's belief in the authority of the Bible and its rejection of Colenso's interpretations. The book also discusses the response of the public to the controversy, including a petition signed by over 11,000 people in support of Colenso.Boully's book provides a detailed examination of the theological and historical context of the controversy, as well as an analysis of the arguments put forth by both sides.
