About this book
Reviews
“This neat, compact, enthusiastic biography surveys the life and work of Cornish auto-didact and pioneering biblical scholar Samuel Prideaux Tregelles … . This work should appeal to specialists in the field of nineteenth-century biblical scholarship.” (R. J. W. Mills, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 72 (1), January, 2021)
“Stunt’s book will be welcome to any reader with an interest in the history of the Plymouth Brethren or New Testament textual criticism as well as the Risorgimento, and certainly belongs in the libraries of universities, theology departments and seminaries. … Stunt ‘the last of the gentlemen scholars’, a characterisation much in evidence in this book which illuminates the life and work of one of the nineteenth-century’s pivotal scholars who deserves a far greater renown than historians generally accord him.” (T J Marinello, European Journal of Theology, Vol. 30 (1), 2021)
