Summary
Don Horrocks argues that Thomas Erskine's unique historical and theological significance as a soteriological innovator has been neglected. This timely reassessment reveals Erskine as a creative, radical theologian of central and enduring importance in Scottish nineteenthcentury theology, perhaps equivalent in significance to that of S.T. Coleridge in England. - Publisher.
