EDITORS COMMENTS
Reverend Joseph Barber Lightfoot, Bishop Designate of Durham, 1880. A portrait capturing the essence of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on both the religious and academic spheres of his time. Reverend Joseph Barber Lightfoot assumed the prestigious position of Bishop of Durham in 1879, solidifying his reputation as a prominent figure within Christianity. Renowned for his scholarly pursuits, Lightfoot spent ten years as a member of the New Testament Company of Revisers. Their Revised New Testament caused quite a stir upon publication, igniting public outcry and debate. Undeterred by controversy, he remained steadfast in his commitment to advancing theological understanding. Lightfoot's influence extended beyond theology; he was instrumental in advocating for the establishment of Liverpool University College due to its growing population. In 1880, this vision became reality with the founding of Liverpool University College. This photograph portrays Lightfoot's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Captured by Lock & Whitfield from life itself, it offers us a glimpse into an era where men like him shaped history through their unwavering dedication to their beliefs. As we admire this print today, let us remember Reverend Joseph Barber Lightfoot as not just another bishop but as a trailblazer whose contributions continue to resonate within religious academia.
