Books by George Duncan

George Simpson Duncan was born in Forfar, on 8 March 1884, the son of Alexander Duncan, tailor's cutter, and his wife, Isabella Brown. In 1915, he was ordained to the ministry of the Church of Scotland and became an army chaplain. In 1919, Duncan succeeded to the Chair of Biblical Criticism in St. Andrews. His work in the New Testament field brought him international reputation, and in 1948, Duncan became president of the Society for New Testament Studies, of which he was a founder-member. Academic eminence never estranged him from ordinary people, whether soldier or ex-serviceman, parish minister or parishioner. He died in 1965.
