Reviews
"This is a superb piece of cross-disciplinary research. Politics, theology and philosophy are all explored, in a way that revolutionizes our understanding of an episode of immense significance, not just for the Scottish church but for the whole cultural development of eighteenth-century Scotland. The documentation is groundbreaking. This is one of the most exciting Enlightenment studies of the last decade." M.A. Stewart, Professor of History of Philosophy, Universities of Lancaster and Aberdeen. "A significant, original contribution to the study of a crucial transitional period in Scottish history. It marks a substantial advance on previous discussions of Simson." Paul Wood, Department of History, University of Victoria, "A significant, original contribution to the study of a crucial transitional period in Scottish history.

Synopsis
In Mr Simson's Knotty Case Anne Skoczylas examines the heresy trials of John Simson, professor of Divinity at Glasgow University from 1708-40. Accused of teaching unsound doctrine, Simson retained his position after mild censure in 1717 but was eventually suspended from teaching and preaching after a second set of charges was brought against him in the ecclesiastical courts in the late 1720s., The issues involved in these trials included the right of universities to discipline their professors, the degree of political control over the appointment and methodology of teachers, the preservation of factional advantage through such appointments, and the nature of the relationship between a state church and the public institutions responsible for educating its clergy. Skoczylas shows that the effect of the Enlightenment on Scottish Calvinism, which required adaptation to new developments in theology and pedagogy, was an important sub-text to the trials: the compromise reached at the end of the second led indirectly to the first secession of ultra-orthodox ministers from the Church of Scotland. More significantly, the Church became increasingly open to innovative thought so that enlightened ministers of the latter half of the century could debate matters forbidden to Simson. Mr Simson's Knotty Case breaks new ground, offering the first analysis of many ecclesiastical and political sources. Skoczylas shows that although Simson was in many ways a conservative man, despite his innovative pedagogy, the liberalizing effects of his cases thrust Scotland from the obscurity of Covenanting orthodoxy into the clarity of the Enlightenment.

- 5***1 (53)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI am pleased with the transaction in most ways, so I have marked it as a positive experience. I will specifically note the areas I was not honestly happy with: The fact that the item was listed as in “very good” condition. It arrived with the jacket having 2 torn places. Also there is a sentimental inscription hand written on the inside that had been partially marked through with a pen. - IMO, not considered “very good” condition. Very quick & secure shipping, & fair price. 4 stars out of 5.
- g***r (30)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificato5 days had gone by before my package was dropped off at the Post Office. So I messaged them to see what was going on and they said the post office must have mishandled something. They got in contact with the post office but the post office had no idea what happened to my package. PROBABLY BECAUSE MY SHIPPING LABEL WAS CREATED BUT NEVER BROUGHT TO THE POST OFFICE BECAUSE THERE WAS NEVER A SCAN AT THE POST OFFICE. They blamed it on the post office and gave me my refund for my book.
