Professor David WrightWidely respected evangelical church historian and theologian in the Church of Scotland, Professor David F Wright, departed this earthly life on February 19th. The Scotsman has a tribute –

“Wright specialised in patristic and Reformation theology, and he published extensively on the fathers of the early Church, especially Augustine, and on the magisterial figures of the European Reformation – Calvin, John Knox and Peter Martyr, for example. He also wrote on contemporary ethical issues facing the Church, particularly questions of sexuality, where he took up a thoroughly conservative position.”
