Lux Mundi: A series of Studies in the Religion of the Incarnation is a collection of 12 essays by liberal Anglo-Catholic theologians published in 1889. It was edited by Charles Gore, then the principal of Pusey House, Oxford and a future Bishop of Oxford.

Contents

Gore's article, "The Holy Spirit and Inspiration", which showed an ability to accept discoveries of contemporary science, was challenged in conservative Anglo-Catholic circles. He subsequently remedied Christological deficiency in his 1891 Bampton Lectures, "The Incarnation of the Son of God".

Many of the contributors included the word "incarnation" in the titles of their articles.

  • H. S. Holland ("Faith")
  • Aubrey Moore ("The Christian Doctrine of God")
  • J. R. Illingworth ("The Problem of Pain: its bearing on faith in God" and "The Incarnation in relation to Development")
