This volume presents the proceedings of a conference held at the University of Aberdeen (1‑4 April 2002) to commemorate the bicentenary of the death of Alexander Geddes (1737‑1802), a Scottish Roman Catholic priest, poet, social critic and pioneering biblical scholar. Rooted in the intellectual ferment of the Scottish and French Enlightenments, Geddes stands out for his willingness to bring historical‑critical methods to the study of the Hebrew Bible, notably the Pentateuch. Through a wide‑ranging set of contributions, the volume seeks both to situate Geddes’s biblical criticism in its historical context and to reflect on broader issues raised by his work — questions of revelation and authority, the relationship of faith and reason, and the evolving autonomy of ethics and philosophy under Enlightenment conditions. Edited by William Johnstone and published as the first edition in 2004 by T&T Clark / Continuum, it bridges historical, literary and theological disciplines for students of the Bible and Enlightenment thought alike.
