About the author
Born in 1823 in Perthshire, John Tulloch became a Scottish theologian and minister in the Church of Scotland. He studied at the University of St Andrews, later served in parish ministry, and went on to become one of the university's most prominent figures.
Tulloch was known not only as a preacher and church leader but also as an essayist and historian of religious thought. His books included studies of thinkers and movements such as Rational Theology and English Puritanism, written in a style that aimed to be thoughtful without losing ordinary readers.
He eventually became Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews, helping shape the institution during the nineteenth century. He died in 1886, leaving behind a reputation for intellectual breadth, humane judgment, and a steady influence on Scottish religious life.
