Excerpt from The Whole Counsel of God, or the Duty of the Clergy as Teachers of the People, With Particular Reference to the Recent Judgement in the Case of "Essays and Reviews": A Sermon Preached in the Abbey Church of St. Mary, Sherborne, on the Second Sunday in Lent, Feb. 21, 1864, at the General Ordination of the Lord Bishop of Salisbury The whole counsel of God! It was God's word, not man's; it was neither the result of a thoughtful speculation, nor yet an approximative guess, nor yet a cunningly devised fable. Being God's word, it was as a whole worthy of the best thought and love that His creature could give it. That mi nistry of three months in the great Ephesian syna gogue', and then the two years which followed of laborious teaching in the School of the Rheto ri'cian Tyrannusm, and last, but not least, the wide publicity, the general attention, and the active hatred of heathen foes which culminated in the Riot of the Amphitheatre had enabled the Apostle to put forward the Gospel, the whole area of its Doctrine, the many sides on which it attracted, and awed, and subdued the soul of man - in unabridged unmutilated completeness. 'all they which dwelt in Asia (i. E. Asia Minor) heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.'

Henry Liddon was born on August 20, 1829 in North Stoneham, England, United Kingdom.
Henry Liddon was educated at I King's College School, London, and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated, taking a second class, in 1850.
Ordained in 1852, Liddon became vice principal at the new seminary at Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire, in 1854, and he was made vice principal at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, in 1859. He used his post at Oxford to maintain and advance the movement, which had suffered a setback after the conversion in 1845 of its chief figure, John Henry Newman, to Roman Catholicism. In 1864 Liddon became chaplain to W. K. Hamilton, bishop of Salisbury and one of the few bishops then favourable to the Oxford movement’s renewal of Roman Catholic principles within the Anglican church. His stature as a spokesman was enhanced by his Bampton lectures of 1866, published the following year as The Divinity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
In 1870 Liddon became a canon of St. Paul’s, London, and Ireland Professor of Exegesis at Oxford. His sermons at St. Paul’s attracted vast congregations for the next 20 years. Like others in the movement, he consistently opposed preferment (the ecclesiastical system of promotions) and is known to have refused at least two bishoprics. His concern with Christian unity prompted him to participate in developing the Old Catholic movement after the Vatican Council of 1869–70, and he traveled in Russia and the Middle East, contacting Orthodox church leaders.
As an associate and admirer of Pusey at Oxford, he favoured Pusey’s attitudes, in contrast to those of younger thinkers in the movement; after Pusey’s death in 1882, Liddon began his authorized biography, published posthumously as Life of Edward Bouverie Pusey (1893–97).
