John Richardson Illingworth (26 June 1848 – 22 August 1915) was an English Anglican priest, philosopher, and theologian. He was a notable member of the set of liberal Anglo-Catholic theologians based in Oxford, and he contributed two chapters to the influential Lux Mundi.[6][7]

Early life and education

Illingworth was born in London on 26 June 1848[8] to an Anglo-Catholic family,[9] the second son of Edward Arthur Illingworth (1807–1883), chaplain to Middlesex House of Correction,[10] and his wife, Mary Taylor.[11] He was educated at St Paul's School, an all-boys public school in London.[12] As a child, he worshipped at St Alban's Church, Holborn, and at All Saints, Margaret Street.[12] He won both an exhibition and a scholarship to attend the University of Oxford.[13] He then studied literae humaniores (classical studies) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and achieved first-class honours in both mods and greats,[14] graduating in 1871 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[15]

In 1900, Illingworth was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity (DD) degree by the University of Edinburgh.[16][17]
