Talk:List of the Westminster Divines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Great work so far! This article may be lacking a few things, at first glance:
There ought to be a comparison with the list that Alexander Mitchell has. Some of the members go by multiple names. Who did the superadded theologians sit in place of? (see mitchell).
Also Reid's work on the Biographies of some of the Divines ought to be referenced. He also gives a Bibliography of each man he covers.

[edit] Christopher Love
I was not able to find Christopher Love in this list. Should he be added? His wikipedia article mentions that he was a member. Wam067 (talk) 01:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Response: Errrr, maybe
Alright, I initially based this page on the Hetherington book and the Westminster Assembly Project webpage (both of which are linked on the main page). There were some discrepancies between these two sources.
Then, I realized that the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography had a list of the Divines, so I copied that (which added a lot, actually), and tried to incorporate the information from the other two lists. But there definitely were contradictions and inconsistencies, which I tried to resolve, but some of which probably are wrong right now.
I would appreciate it if anyone more knowledgeable than myself could figure out how to reconcile these three sources.
