Marcus Dods (11 April 1834 – 26 April 1909) was a Scottish divine and biblical scholar. He was a minister of the Free Church of Scotland. ==Life== He was born at Belford, Northumberland, the youngest son of Rev. Marcus Dods, minister of the Scottish church. He studied at Edinburgh Academy and Edinburgh University, graduating in 1854. He was licensed in 1858, and in 1864 became minister of Renfield Free Church, Glasgow, where he worked for twenty-five years. In 1889 he was appointed professor of New Testament Exegesis in the New College, Edinburgh, of which he became principal on the death of Robert Rainy in May 1907. He became part of the United Free Church of Scotland on its formation in 1900, and in 1901 was elected Moderator of its General Assembly in 1902. He declined the position, stating that "he cannot see his way to undertake the duties". It was assumed he felt that being a neutral moderator, he would not be able to express his opinions on certain doctrinal points due to be discussed. On 26 April 1909, he died at Edinburgh. He was buried in the Dean cemetery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcus Dods (theologian born 1834)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
