Peter Nockles, Ph.D., Assistant Librarian of Printed Books and Methodist Collections, Methodist Archives and Research Centre, John Rylands University Library of Manchester.
In addition to his role at the John Rylands Library, Dr Nockles has been a Visiting Fellow at Oriel College, Oxford. His publications include the highly-acclaimed study The Oxford Movement in Context: Anglican High Churchmanship, 1760-1857 (1994), where he emphasizes a twofold claim: that the Oxford Movement is best understood in historical context, and that Tractarian spirituality had deep continuities with earlier revival movements in Church history. He is also a major contributor to a new history of Oriel College, Oxford.
