DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mark Elliott will speak on John Sharp (1572–1647): Missing 
 link in early Scottish Reformed Theology\, Monday\, October 24 at 16:30.\n
 \nProfessorial Fellow\, Wycliffe College\, Toronto\, and Professor of Bibl
 ical and Historical\, Theology\, Highland Theological College/University o
 f the Highlands and Islands.\n\nThis paper relates the life and context in
  Scotland and in the Dauphiné of the little-known early modern Scottish th
 eologian\, John Sharp. It then looks at two of his four works in some amou
 nt of detail. It seems that his French sojourn insulated him from the ques
 tions of Arminianism\, hypothetical universalism\, the nature of Christ’s 
 atonement \, the extent of Divine Election and the content of Federal Theo
 logy: in other words all the things that divided the Reformed cause in the
  early decades of the seventeenth century. In conclusion it will be argued
  that his stressing the ‘sixteenth-century’-sounding controversies of the 
 clarity and authority of Scripture\, the meaning of Justification and a re
 sistance to recent Catholic Apologetics would provide a continuity between
  the Scottish Reformations of Knox and Melville\, and that which united th
 e otherwise fissiparous Scottish Reformed theology of 1638 onwards.\n
