by E. S. Towill (Author)
There is a permanent fascination about the lives of eminent people, and this is no less true of those whose faith and religious zeal have made them 'great'. In this new book the author provides a series of mini-biographies of forty-five of the better known saints, and brief notes on many more. They include a wide range of people, male and female, who have some connection with Scotland and inflUenced its religious life and traditions. Edwin Sprott Towill was Principal Lecturer in Religious Education at Dundee College of Education till recently. A graduate in Arts, Divinity and Education of Edinburgh, and a former parish minister, he is well known as an author and has written widely on such subjects as the history of Edinburgh schools, the early British Church and many educational and religious subjects. His latest book was People and Places in the Story of the Scottish Church (St Andrew Press, 1976).
