1701 1770 Alexander Churchman Classic Compiler Concordance
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the scholarly intensity of Alexander Cruden (1701-1770), a Scottish churchman and compiler of one of the most influential and enduring works in Biblical scholarship: the "Concordance and Critical Notes on the Old and New Testaments." Cruden's masterpiece, first published in 1737, was a groundbreaking reference tool that provided cross-references between Scripture passages, enabling readers to explore the rich interconnections between the Old and New Testaments. Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Cruden was educated at Marischal College in Aberdeen and ordained as a Minister of the Church of Scotland in 1725. He spent the remainder of his life in various parishes in Scotland, dedicating his time to the study of the Bible and the compilation of his concordance. The portrait, believed to have been painted around the time of the publication of his concordance, depicts Cruden in the prime of his life, with a serious expression and piercing gaze that seems to convey his deep commitment to his work. The book resting on the table before him is open to the Old Testament, a testament to his unwavering dedication to the sacred texts. Cruden's concordance quickly gained widespread acclaim and became an essential resource for scholars, theologians, and clergy. It was reprinted numerous times throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and remains in use today. The portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of scholarship, dedication, and the pursuit of knowledge in the service of faith and the betterment of the human condition.
