In Mr Simson's Knotty Case Anne Skoczylas examines the heresy trials of John Simson, professor of Divinity at Glasgow University from 1708-40. Accused of teaching unsound doctrine, Simson retained his position after mild censure in 1717 but was eventually suspended from teaching and preaching after a second set of charges was brought against him in the ecclesiastical courts in the late 1720s.
