Synopsis

This book delves into the life and times of Alexander Cruden, a man whose name is synonymous with the monumental task of creating a comprehensive concordance to the Bible. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1701, Cruden's journey was marked by both intellectual brilliance and periods of mental instability. The author meticulously traces Cruden's early years, his education, and his eventual move to London, where he established himself as a corrector of the press and bookseller. The narrative explores the immense dedication and effort Cruden poured into his concordance, a project driven by his unwavering belief in the transformative power of Scripture. This book offers more than just a biographical account; it delves into the complexities of mental illness in the 18th century, the challenges faced by those deemed "different," and the intricate relationship between faith and reason. Cruden's aspirations to public office, his encounters with influential figures, and his romantic pursuits paint a vivid picture of a man navigating the societal norms of his era. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the enduring legacy of a man who, despite personal struggles, left an indelible mark on biblical scholarship and continues to inspire generations of readers.
