Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was een Anglicaanse geestelijke en academicus die een bredere kerkvisie voorstond. Zijn uitgebreide literaire werk richtte zich op kerkgeschiedenis, met name de geschiedenis van de Joodse Kerk. Stanley stond bekend om zijn onvermoeibare inzet voor de sociale, morele en religieuze verbetering van de minder bedeelden, en om zijn moedige verdediging van degenen die volgens hem onrechtvaardig waren veroordeeld. Zijn bereidheid om onconventionele standpunten te verdedigen en diverse religieuze perspectieven te omarmen, leidde vaak tot controverse, maar benadrukte zijn progressieve en ruimdenkende aanpak.
