Publisher's Description

Edward Irving (1792-1834) was a Scottish clergyman and played a significant role in founding the Catholic Apostolic Church. He was educated at the University of Edinburgh and became a tutor and master of an academy before his receiving an appointment in the Church of Scotland. But he became most well-known for his involvement with prophecy, millenarianism, and speaking in tongues. These issues led to his being removed from the Church of Scotland on the charge of heresy. This volume provides an engaging examination of Irving, both in biographical detail and the controversies that surrounded him.
