John Caird (theologian)

John Caird (theologian)

John Caird (December 15, 1820 - July 30, 1898), theologian, born at Greenock and educated at Glasgow, entered the Church of Scotland, of which he became one of the most eloquent preachers.

After being a minister in the country and in Edinburgh, he was transferred to Glasgow, becoming in 1862 Professor of Divinity in the University of that city, and in 1873 Principal.

A sermon on "Religion in Common Life", preached before Queen Victoria, made him known throughout the Protestant world. He wrote an "Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion" (1880), and a vol. on "Spinoza" (1888).

His brother was the philosopher Edward Caird.
