Andrew A. Bonar.

Andrew Alexander Bonar (29 May 1810 in Edinburgh 30 December 1892 in Glasgow) was a minister of the Free Church of Scotland and youngest brother of Horatius Bonar.

Biography

Bonar studied at Edinburgh; was minister at Collace, Perthshire, 1838 1856 (both in the Church of Scotland and the Free Church); and of Finnieston Free Church, Glasgow, 1856 till his death. He joined the Free Church in 1843, and was its moderator in 1878. He was identified with evangelical and revival movements and adhered to the doctrine of premillennialism. With Robert Murray McCheyne he visited Palestine in 1839 to inquire into the condition of the Jews there.[1] During the visit of Dwight L. Moody to Britain in 1874 and 1875, Moody was warmly welcomed by Bonar, despite the latter receiving considerable criticism from other Calvinist ministers in the Free Church.
