Rev. John M'Pherson

Best known as a minister at Findhorn in Morayshire, he wrote and translated books on church history and Presbyterian thought for a broad readership. His published work includes Presbyterianism, notes on The Westminster Confession of Faith, and an authorized English translation of J. H. Kurtz's Church History.

Sources found during research identify him with Findhorn and connect him with a substantial body of late 19th-century theological writing. One source describes him as a Free Church of Scotland minister who gave many years of pastoral service there, while library and archive records show his role as a translator and interpreter of major works in historical theology.

A separate search result listed dates of 1837–1911, but the strongest matching sources for the writer associated with Findhorn and these books identify him as John Macpherson (1847–1902). Because the records are not fully consistent, the summary here sticks to the parts that could be confirmed confidently.
