Recensione:
Dr Jack Whytock provides in one volume the first comprehensive survey of the development of theological education in Scotland. While his attention is directed particularly to the Secession tradition, this is also a useful introduction to the history of theological education in the Kirk. Whytocks concluding case study, looking at the synergies in theological education between Scotland and British North America, points towards future areas of research for Presbyterian historians overseas. The book ends on a practical note and is a must read, not only for church historians, but anyone interested in contemporary theological education. --Stewart Gill, Principal, Emmanuel College, University of Queensland, Australia
Jack Whytocks An Educated Clergy is reminiscent of John MacLeods classic, Scottish Theology (1943), yet comes with the substantive documentation never provided in that war-era volume. Now others can go exploring bypaths of Scottish theology and theological training within and without the Church of Scotland across three crucial centuries. The wider global Presbyterian family stands enriched through Whytocks provision of this doorway. --Kenneth J. Stewart, Professor of Theological Studies, Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Georgia, USA
Since Calvin stated in his Ecclesiastical Ordinances in 1541, It will be necessary to build a college, Presbyterians have supported the concept of an educated clergy. Dr Whytock has written the most comprehensive study of this principle in the Scottish Church spanning three centuries. He brings together in this study a wealth of information and reflection which enhances our knowledge of the professors, students, curriculum and locations which produced generations of Scottish church leaders. --Laurence S. Kirkpatrick, Vice Principal and Professor of Church History, Union Theological College, Belfast, N. Ireland
