| | Telegraph News The Rev Professor Maurice Wiles |
 | | The Rev Professor Maurice Wiles, who died on Friday aged 81, was Regius Professor of Divinity and a Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, from 1970 to 1991; he was previously Professor of Christian Doctrine at King's College, London, and Dean of Clare College, Cambridge. |
 | | To university colleagues, Wiles was a figure of faith; but to his colleagues in the Church he was a figure of doubt, and this he regarded as perfectly proper for a Professor of Divinity. |
 | | This led him to raise the question, in a contribution to a highly controversial volume of essays, The Myth of God Incarnate (1977), of whether or not the concept of incarnation is sufficiently intelligible to remain in use. |
