After a series of church and academic posts, he became the first principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge, from 1881-1899. He then held the post of Norrisian Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge until his appointment as Bishop of Durham in 1901. Moule was active in the Higher Life movement and was one of the speakers at the inaugural Keswick Convention. He was a New Testament scholar who wrote over 60 books and pamphlets.

His brothers George Evans Moule and Arthur Evans Moule were missionaries in China. His grand-nephew C. F. D. Moule was a notable theologian.
