History of Protestantism Vol. I - J A Wylie - Bog

James A. Wylie?s massive History of Protestantism

was published in 1878 and covers the beginnings of

Christianity to the Glorious Revolution in Great Britain

of 1688 in Three Volumes.

The following quote on J. A. Wylie is taken from a

publisher?s Preface by Mourne Missionary Press:

?The Rev. James Aitken Wylie was for many years

a leading Protestant spokesman. Born in Scotland in

1808, he was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen

and at St. Andrews; he entered the Original Divinity

Hall, Edinburgh in 1827, and was ordained in 1831.

Dr. Wylie became sub-editor of the Edinburgh Witness

in 1846, and, after joining the Free Church of

Scotland in 1852, edited the Free Church Record from

1852 until 1860. In 1860 he was appointed Lecturer

on Popery at the Protestant Institute, a position he

held until the year of his death. Aberdeen University

awarded him the LL.D. in 1856.?
