George Leonard Prestige

George Leonard Prestige

George Leonard Prestige 1889 - 1955 was Fellow and Chaplain of New College, Oxford. His theological research showed particular competence in patristics and touched on ancient philosophy, e.g; in "God in Patristic Thought" (1952). He is perhaps best known for his illuminating and in places entertaining work, "Fathers and Heretics" (1954), given initially as Bampton Lectures in 1940. Prestige also wrote a biography of Charles Gore.

From 1920 to 1944, Prestige held the country living of Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire. Many of his early books were written there. He also served as deputy editor of the "Church Times", succeeding as editor in 1941 and serving until 1948. At his death he was treasurer of St. Paul's Cathedral.
