| Summary: | John Erskine (1721–1803), minister of Old Greyfriars Church in Edinburgh, was the leading Calvinist theologian in Scotland throughout the last half of the eighteenth century. He was the grand patriarch of the evangelical party north of the border, a prolific preacher and author who fostered a network of relationships with the Puritans of New England. Remarkably, there has been no serious study of Erkine’s career and intellectual development since Sir Henry Moncreiff Wellwood’s Account of the Life and Writings of John Erskine (1818), so Jonathan Yeager’s monograph fills a significant gap. |
