Delighted that a copy of Nathan Hood’s first monograph arrived in the post today! Nathan’s work to date on emotions in early modern Scotland has been outstanding. I am sure this is going to be great too and I can’t wait to read it.

Great to see my copy of the latest edition of Scottish Church History drop through the letterbox today!

A few years ago, I wrote an article for The Seventeenth Century on typology in early modern Scotland focused on one of the most popular biblical types called “Wielding the Brazen Serpent: The Variety and Power of Biblical Typology in Early Modern Scotland” 👇 t.co/dcMP7Utqej

So pleased to see that there’s going to be an In Our Time episode on Biblical Typology. I wrote my PhD on typological exegesis in early modern Scotland and I’m convinced that this is a vital strand of Reformed Protestantism that’s often ignored/misunderstood www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Featuring a wee something by me 😊 very pleased to see this in print and for it to be free to read!!

More talk this week on AI vs human indexing. The book ‘INDEX, A History of the’ by @djbduncan.bsky.social has two indexes – a computer-generated one by automated software, and an index created by a human indexer (me). They are really not the same. (See also @indexers.bsky.social and #IndexSky.)

Great history book haul this Christmas — the main challenge is deciding what to read first!

Well, look at what just dropped through the letterbox 👀 Excited to get hold of a copy Sal Cipriano’s ‘The Universities of Scotland, Ireland, and New England during the British Civil Wars: Contested Seminaries’

Good to be in the beautiful (and frosty) Highlands today!

Grateful to finally get a copy of @kmschultz24.bsky.social’s book today!

Chris is doing some fantastic work on the mid-seventeenth century General Assemblies & gave a beautifully textured paper today at the Scottish Church History conference about the experiential realities of being a general assembly commissioner. This will be a valuable resource as it develops 👇

Some news... I'm delighted (and still a bit surprised) to have been asked to serve as co-editor of Scottish Church History. SCH is a terrific journal publishing brilliant research, so I'm thrilled to be taking on the editorial responsibilities alongside Scott Spurlock. www.euppublishing.com/loi/sch

Socks with books, and books about books and bookshops! I think my in laws have the measure of me

Thoroughly enjoyed speaking to the Scottish Baptist History Project this morning on ‘Spurgeon and the Scots’. A very kind and gracious audience, esp. as I attempted to be a nineteenth-century historian (fear not — I still managed to smuggle in plenty of early modern references).

First post! I’m a historian of Christianity, mainly researching early modern Scottish Protestantism. My PhD focused on Scottish biblical exegesis & my postdoc on preaching. I co-edited “The Clergy in Early Modern Scotland” & am now working on an intellectual bio of Rev Dr William Guild (1586-1657).
