This three-volume work comprises over eighty essays surveying the history of Scottish theology from the early middle ages onwards. Written by an international team of scholars, the collection provides the most comprehensive review yet of the theological movements, figures, and themes that have shaped Scottish culture and exercised a significant influence in other parts of the world. Attention is given to different traditions and to the dispersion of Scottish theology through exile, migration, and missionary activity. The volumes present in diachronic perspective the theologies that have flourished in Scotland from early monasticism until the end of the twentieth century. The History of Scottish Theology, Volume I covers the period from the appearance of Christianity around the time of Columba to the era of Reformed Orthodoxy in the seventeenth century. Volume II begins with the early Enlightenment and concludes in late Victorian Scotland. Volume III explores the 'long twentieth century'. Recurrent themes and challenges are assessed, but also new currents and theological movements that arose through Renaissance humanism, Reformation teaching, federal theology, the Scottish Enlightenment, evangelicalism, missionary, Biblical criticism, idealist philosophy, dialectical theology, and existentialism. Chapters also consider the Scots Catholic colleges in Europe, Gaelic women writers, philosophical scepticism, the dialogue with science, and the reception of theology in liturgy, hymnody, art, literature, architecture, and stained glass. Contributors also discuss the treatment of theological themes in Scottish literature.

Excerpt from The New Testament in Scots, Vol. 2: Being Purvey's Revision of Wycliffe's Version Turned Into Scots This is Johne euangelist, an of the disciplis of the F. 85 v. Lorde, quhilk is a virgin chosen of God, quham God callit fra the spousalis quhen he wald be weddit. And doubile witnes of virginitee is gevin to him in the euangell in this, that he is said luvit of God before vthere discipilis. And our Lord, hangand on the croce, betaucht his moder to him in keping, that a virgine suld kepe a virgine. This Johnne in the evangele beginnis allaan the work of vncor ruptabile worde, and witnessis that the kyndly sonn of God is made man, and that licht was nocht takin of mirknessis. And he schewis the first miracile quhilk God did at the weddingis. To schew quhare the Lord is prait to the feest the wyne of the weddingis aucht to failye; that quhen ald thingis ar changet al new thingis that ar ordanyt of Crist appere. Johnne wrate this euangele in Asie, eftir that he had writtin the Apocalips in the Ile of Pathmos. Neuir theles, he wrate the euangele eftire all euangelestis, that alsa ane vncorruptibile end be a virgine in the Apocalips to him to quham ane vncorruptibile beginnyng is gevin in Genesis, in the begynnyng of halie scripture; for Crist in the Apocalips sais, I am the beginnyng and the end. And this Johne is he that knew that the day of his depart ing was cummin. And he callit togiddir his discipilis in Ephesie, and schewit Crist be mony previngis of myraciles; and yede doun into a dolacn place of his berysing. And quhen he had made prayer he was put to his fadris, and was als mekile without scrow of deid as he is fundin cleen fra corruptioun of fiesch.

Studies the book trade during the age of Fergusson and BurnsOver 40 leading scholars come together in this volume to scrutinise the development and impact of printing, binding, bookselling, libraries, textbooks, distribution and international trade, copyright, piracy, literacy, music publication, women readers, children's books and cookery books.The 18th century saw Scotland become a global leader in publishing, both through landmark challenges to the early copyright legislation and through the development of intricate overseas markets that extended across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Scots in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Dublin and Philadelphia amassed fortunes while bringing to international markets classics in medicine and economics by Scottish authors, as well as such enduring works of reference as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Entrepreneurship and a vigorous sense of nationalism brought Scotland from financial destitution at the time of the 1707 Union to extraordinary wealth by the 1790s. Publishing was one of the country's elite new industries.
