Recent decades have witnessed much scholarly reassessment of
late-sixteenth through eighteenth-century Reformed theology. It was
common to view the theology of this period--typically labelled
'orthodoxy'--as sterile, speculative, and rationalistic, and to
represent it as significantly discontinuous with the more
humanistic, practical, and biblical thought of the early reformers.
Recent scholars have taken a more balanced approach, examining
orthodoxy on its own terms and subsequently highlighting points of
continuity between orthodoxy and both Reformation and
pre-Reformation theologies, in terms of form as well as content.
Until now Scottish theology and theologians have figured relatively
minimally in works reassessing orthodoxy, and thus many of the
older stereotypes concerning post-Reformation Reformed theology in
a Scottish context persist. This collection of essays aims to
redress that failure by purposely examining post-Reformation
Scottish theology/theologians through a lens provided by the gains
made in recent scholarly evaluations of Reformed orthodoxy, and by
highlighting, in that process, the significant contribution which
Scottish divines of the orthodox era made to Reformed theology as
an international intellectual phenomenon.
