Thomson, Andrew 1779-1831

Andrew Thomson was an incredibly talented minister, who was credited by some with completely transforming Edinburgh and Scotland (along with Thomas Chalmers, and McCrie's "Life of John Knox"), by making active, believing Christianity acceptable to the upper classes, and available to all. He was devastating in argument and debate and enormously popular. When he was taken at an early age, the whole country wept.
