Isolated Broad Church Advocate Dr. Lee in Scottish Memoir
A critical review of a memoir on Dr. Robert Lee, prominent in Edinburgh and Old Greyfriars, tracing his broad church stance, liturgical innovations, and clashes with conservative presbyteries. The piece cites his isolation within the Church of Scotland, opposition to dissenters, and the tensions between latitude and orthodoxy while praising his intellect and noting the memoir’s polemical tone.
