Maurice, Frederick Denison (1805–72). Anglican theologian and social reformer. Ordained in the Church of England, Maurice became professor of theology at King's College, London, but was forced to resign in 1853 because of his unorthodox views on eternal punishment. He was deeply moved by the political events of 1848 and declared himself a Christian socialist. In 1854 he founded the Working Men's College in London and became increasingly recognized as a leader of Christian social reform.
