This book explores in unprecedented detail the theological thinking
of John Witherspoon during his often overlooked ministerial career
in Scotland. In contrast to the arguments made by other historians,
it shows that there was considerable continuity of thought between
Witherspoon's Scottish ministry and the second half of his career
as one of America's Founding Fathers. The book argues that
Witherspoon cannot be properly understood until he is seen as not
only engaged with the Enlightenment, but also firmly grounded in
the Calvinist tradition of High to Late Orthodoxy, embedded in the
transatlantic Evangelical Awakening of the eighteenth century, and
frustrated by the state of religion in the Scottish Kirk. Alongside
the titles of pastor, president, educator, philosopher, should be a
new category: John Witherspoon as Reformed apologist. This is a
fresh re-examination of the intellectual formation of one of
Scotland's most important churchman from the eighteenth century and
one of America's most influential early figures. The volume will be
of keen interest to academics working in Religious History,
American Religion, Reformed Theology and Calvinism, as well as
Scottish and American history more generally.
