Life
He was the son of
Ceylon
for six months.
After his return, he became the first head of St Stephen's House, Oxford (1876–1878), and then, after presiding for two years over the Theological College at Salisbury, where he acted as his father's chaplain, he accepted the college living of Great Budworth in Cheshire in 1880, and the same year married Alice, the daughter of his father's predecessor,
King Edward VII
.
After a long period of delicate health he died at Christ Church. He was the father of
Robert Hamilton Moberly

Works
His chief writings were:
- 1889: "The Incarnation as the Basis of Dogma", an essay in Lux Mundi
- 1891: Belief in a Personal God, a paper
- 1896: Reason and Religion, a protest against the limitation of the reason to the understanding
- 1897: Ministerial Priesthood
- 1901: Atonement and Personality. In this last work, by which he is chiefly known, he aimed at presenting an explanation and a vindication of the doctrine of the atonementby the help of the conception of personality. Rejecting the retributive view of punishment, he describes the sufferings of Christ as those of the perfect "Penitent", and finds their expiatory value to lie in the Person of the Sufferer, the God-Man.
