About the author
Born in Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, in 1843, Thomas Martin Lindsay became a Scottish historian, minister, and scholar of church history. He studied at the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh and was ordained in the Free Church tradition.
In 1872 he was appointed Professor of Church History at the Free Church College in Glasgow, a post he held for the rest of his life. From 1902 he also served as principal of the college, by then known as the United Free College.
He wrote mainly on the history of the Christian church and is especially remembered for Luther and the German Reformation and his two-volume A History of the Reformation. He died in 1914, leaving a body of work that remained useful to readers interested in Reformation history and historical theology.
