Inhaltsangabe

Hugh Binning (1627-1653) lived at a time when politics and religion were inexorably intertwined. Binning trained as a Philosopher - believing that philosophy was the servant of theology but that both should be taught in parallel. Binning's writing forms an important bridge between the 17th century, when philosophy in Scotland was heavily dominated by Calvinism, and the 18th century when there was a greater degree of independence between theology and allied philosophy. Of his speaking style, it was said: "There is originality without any affectation, a rich imagination, without anything fanciful or extravert, the utmost simplicity, without a thing mean or trifling." - The Religious Magazine, 1830

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Hugh Binning (1627-1653) was a Scottish Covenanter who served as a professor at the University of Glasgow and a minister of Govan. Binning showed great promise as a student from a young age. He entered Glasgow University at the age of thirteen and finished his master's degree and had become a professor of philosophy at the university by the time he was nineteen. Two years later he married Barbara Simpson, the daughter of a minister from Ireland, and the couple had a son, John. The call to the ministry was strong, though, and so he set out to learn theology. When he was twenty-two, he took up the pastorate at Govan, where he served until his death from consumption at the age of twenty-six. All his writings were collected posthumously.
