Thomas M'Crie the Younger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas M'Crie was a Scottish Seceder minister and church historian who was born in Edinburgh, in November 1797 and died 9 May 1875. He was the eldest son of Thomas M'Crie the Elder, and succeeded him as minister of Davie Street Church Original Secession Church in Edinburgh. In 1856, a few years after the union of this denomination with the Free Church of Scotland he became the moderator of the Free Church for that year, but the same year moved to London to become a Professor at the Presbyterian Church of England's college there.

At least one of his writings, The Story of the Scottish Church, is still in print, ISBN 0-902506-25-0.
