Thomas Scott (1747-1821) was a Gospel preacher well
equipped to demonstrate powerfully what is the difference between true
Christianity and its false counterparts within the Church. The son of a
Lincolnshire
grazier, and the tenth of thirteen children, he was himself bound for the
cattle farming business when he decided to opt for the ordained ministry,
considering that occupation to be less arduous. At length his careless,
liberal views and unsanctified life were brought to bear upon him
– largely through the efforts of John Newton
– and by the grace of God he repented at the feet of the Saviour. As
an evangelical pastor he soon became a great force for good in the land, and
he has ever since been remembered for his tireless work, the results of
which include a Commentary
on the Whole Bible.
