"A distinctive feature of this elegantly written book is that it is primary-source based . and so constitutes an original contribution to the life and work of an eminent Glasgow minister. The book should both be illuminating for a wide spectrum of readers and add a very useful source for historians of modern Scottish church history and Presbyterianism." --W. Ian P. Hazlett, Emeritus Professor, University of Glasgow "Andrew Ralston has provided us with a well-written and researched, yet highly accessible, biography of a key Christian figure in mid-twentieth-century Scotland, whose life and work deserves the detailed and engaging treatment that Ralston provides. Nevile Davidson's dynamic ministry at Glasgow Cathedral, his ecumenical drive, and his compassion and humanity shine through. This book is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the buoyant post-war period in Scottish Christianity, and its lessons for us now.
