Reviews
"Thomas Ahnert's cogently argued and highly original monograph amounts to a complete reversal of some of the most commonly accepted features of what the Enlightenment-and not only that in Scotland-was about."-Knud Haakonssen, University of Erfurt and University of St. Andrews -- Knud Haakonssen
"Ahnert's polyglot grasp of Latin primary source materials and secondary scholarship in German, French, and Italian brings a depth and solidity to his scholarship on the Moderate theologians of eighteenth-century Scotland. His arresting revisionist case study brings back to life aspects of history which most scholars in this field can barely touch, far less revivify."-Colin Kidd, author of Union and Unionisms: Political Thought in Scotland 1500-2000 -- Colin Kidd
