On this Podcast Wednesday, Carl and Todd sit down to chat with an old friend. Sandy Finlayson is the library director and professor of Theological Bibliography at Westminster Theological Seminary. Carl leads the conversation by describing the genesis of the Free Church of Scotland and the men who led what was called The Great Disruption. Among them, we find Thomas Chalmers, one of the main leaders of the movement and the subject of Sandy’s academic interest.
In the Church of Scotland, who had the right to call a minister to the congregationthe state, the head of the church, or the parishioners? The many different opinions on the subject led to some denominational schism. Even if Scottish history is not your cup of tea, you will appreciateand enjoy learning aboutthe Scotsman Thomas Chalmers’ public and private life, and about Presbyterian heritage.
