"An Educated Clergy": Scottish Theological Education and Training in the Kirk and Secession, 1560-1850 (Studies in Christian History and Thought)

Scotland has long been known for its emphasis upon an "educated clergy" yet little serious historical attention has been given to how this was actually fostered. This book begins to fill that gap. While a thoroughly historical study in Scottish church history and historical theology, the book also serves as a springboard for reflection and application to the work of theological education today with the evangelical Presbyterian and Reformed community.
