About this book
Religion and Theology: A Sermon for the Times Preached in the Parish Church of Crathie, fifth September and in the College Church, St Andrews by John Tulloch delivers a stirring and erudite address that marries pastoral urgency with rigorous theological reflection. Rooted in the 19th‑century Scottish church, Tulloch’s sermon engages the pressing spiritual and moral questions of his day—authority, conscience, the role of the Church in society—and frames them within a broader conversation between faith and reason.
Combining clear exposition, historical awareness, and philosophical sensitivity, Tulloch explores themes of theism, Christian duty, and the relationship between doctrinal faith and practical life. His voice is at once scholarly and accessible: he brings to the pulpit the resources of a principal of theology and the pastoral concern of a chaplain, offering listeners both intellectual argument and spiritual consolation. The work reflects the intellectual currents of Victorian theology while remaining focused on pastoral application, making it a valuable window into religious thought and public discourse of its era.
Ideal for listeners interested in religion, historical theology, Scottish church history, clergy and students, or anyone seeking thoughtful reflections on faith and society.
