It was essential to the discharge of the duties of the Regius Professor of Divinity that he should possess the full confidence of those who were engaged in educating young men at Oxford.
It provided that the new Regius Professor, having so treated theological subjects, 'ut in h‰c parte nullam ejus fiduciam habeat Universitas,' he was not to be on the Board which nominated select preachers, and he was not to be consulted when a sermon was called in question before the Vice-Chancellor.
The statute was accepted by a majority of 380--474 against 94; and the Regius Professor of Divinity was, during the pleasure of the University, deprived of the right of sitting at the Board of Inquiry into Heretical Doctrines, and at the Board of Nomination of Select Preachers.

As regius professor of divinity at Oxford for 21 years, from 1970 to 1991, Maurice Wiles, who has died aged 81, provided leadership for the subject in England and represented the moderate liberal wing of theology in the Church of England at the time of its greatest recent influence.

Swete's return to Cambridge in 1890 as regius professor of divinity was viewed with misgiving by many who recognized his learning and scholarship, but who feared that his shy and diffident manner, and the specialized character of his studies, unfitted him to succeed so great a teacher as Dr. Westcott.
Probably the greatest service which he rendered as professor was the stimulus which he gave to younger men by setting them to work on some particular field of research.

 INTRODUCTORY DISSERTATION ON EPHRAIM THE SYRIAN AND APHRAHAT THE PERSIAN SAGE, FIRST PART: EPHRAIM THE SYRIAN
Though the son of such a father, he was from his childhood preserved, by Divine grace which "chose him like Jeremiah from his mother's womb," from all taint of idolatrous worship and its attendant impurities, to be, like St. Paul, a "chosen vessel" to spread the light of truth and to quench heresy.
His way was divinely directed to the famous and saintly Bishop, Jacob of Nisibis, to whom he told his story and by whom he was affectionately welcomed and admitted into the number of" Hearers,"--that is, Catechumens in the first stage of preparatory instruction.
He prayed for divine guidance in the matter; and in answer a vision was sent to him.
