rd, Hants (1858-1863), and professor of Greek and Gifford lecturer at the university of St Andrews (1863-1894). In 1894 he was elected an honorary fellow of Balliol. As a scholar he is best known by his work on Sophocles and Plato. His published works include: Sophocles (2nd ed., 1879); Plato, _Sophistes_ and _Politicus_ (1867), _Theaetetus_ (2nd ed., 1883), _Republic_ (with Jowett, 1894); _Life and Letters of Benjamin Jowett_ (with E. Abbott, 1897), _Letters of B. Jowett_ (1899); _Life of James Clerk Maxwell_ (with W. Garnett, new ed., 1884); _A Guide to Greek Tragedy for English Readers_ (1891); _Religion in Greek Literature_ (1898); _On the Nationalisation of the Old English Universities_ (1901); Verse translations of the plays of Aeschylus (1890); Sophocles (1896); _Tragic Drama in Aeschylus, Sophocles and Shakespeare_ (1904); _Paralipomena Sophoclea_ (1907). He died on the 25th of October 1908. CAMPBELL, REGINALD JOHN (1867- ), British Congregationalist divine, son of a United Free Methodist minister of Scottish descent, was born in London, and educated at schools in Bolton and Nottingham, where his father successively removed, and in Belfast, the home of his grandfather. At an early age he taught in the high school at Ashton, Cheshire, and was already married when in 1891 he went to Christchurch, Oxford, where he graduated in 1895 in the honours school of modern history. He had gone to Oxford with the intention of becoming a clergyman in the Church of England, but in spite of the influence of Bishop Gore, then head of the Pusey House, and of Dean Paget (afterwards bishop of Oxford), his Scottish and Irish Nonconformist blood was too strong, and he abandoned the idea in order to take up work in the Congregational ministry. He accepted a call, on leaving Oxford, to the small Congregational church in Union Street, Brighton, and quickly became famous there as a preacher, so much so that on Joseph Parker's death he was chosen as his successor (1903) at the City Temple, London. Here he notably enhanced his popularity as a preacher, and became one of the recognized leaders of Nonconformist opinion. At the end of 1906 he attracted widespread attention by his vigorous propagation of what was called the "New Theology," a restatement of Christian beliefs to harmonize with modern critical views and beliefs, and published a book with this title which gave rise to considerable discussion.
