Publisher's Description
Between 1860-1920 a number of distinguished Scottish theologians grappled with the problems of reconciling a biblical faith with current philosophical and theological trends. Alan Sell has selected eight of these: John Kennedy of Dingwall (1819-1884); Robert Flint (1838-1910); John Caird (1820-1898); A. B. Bruce (1831-1899); James Iverach (1839-1922); James Orr (1844-1913); D. W. Forrest (1856-1918); and James Denney (1856-1917). The book is not only of historical interest; many of the issues confronted by these scholars are also of contemporary interest. Professor James Torrance comments: 'This study is invaluable in keeping alive the authentic tradition that Scotland has produced great theologians, . . . but perhaps supremely in the period covered by this eminently readable book.'
