  • Andrew Purves (born 1946) is a Scottish theologian in the Reformed tradition through the Church of Scotland (and later, the Presbyterian Church [USA]). He holds the Chair in Reformed Theology at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Purves earned degrees in philosophy and divinity from the University of Edinburgh, and a Master of Theology degree from Duke Divinity School. His Doctor of Philosophy degree is from the University of Edinburgh. In Scotland, he studied under Thomas F. Torrance. Torrance, his brother James Torrance, Athanasius, John Calvin, Karl Barth, and Jürgen Moltmann were all important influences in Purves' theological development. Originally a member of the Church of Scotland, Purves moved to the United States in 1978 and was ordained in 1979. He served as pastor of the Hebron Presbyterian Church in Clinton, Pennsylvania, until 1983 when he began teaching at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Purves' primary concerns surround Christology. He continually argues for a vital connection between the person and work of Jesus Christ in his vicarious humanity and the Christian life; a connection founded upon the believer's union with Christ. Much of Purves' work is a call to reclaim the classical, Christological tradition of the church, thereby renewing the church through traditional doctrine and the wisdom of the patristic writers. Some associate him with the paleo-orthodox movement. He has become a leader of evangelical renewal in the PCUSA and has become known in that denomination for his support of conservative Christian views concerning the person and work of Jesus Christ (rejecting pluralism), reclaiming a centre in Christ, on sexuality and withholding ordination from self-avowed, practicing, unrepentant gays and lesbians. He is married to Catherine Purves, a Presbyterian minister in her own right. They have three children: Brendan, Gordon, and Laura. (en)
  • Andrew Purves é um teólogo cristão reformado, inicialmente membro da Igreja da Escócia (ingressando mais tarde na Presbyterian Church (USA)) e professor de Teologia Reformada no Pittsburgh Theological Seminary . Purves nasceu em Edimburgo, na Escócia. Durante sua graduação em Philosophy and Divinity na Universidade de Edinburgh, Purves foi aluno de Thomas F. Torrance. Thomas F. Torrance e seu irmão James Torrance, assim como Atanásio, João Calvino, Karl Barth e Jurgen Moltmann, foram influências importantes no desenvolvimento teológico de Purves. Originalmente membro da Igreja da Escócia, Purves mudou-se para os Estados Unidos em 1978 e foi ordenado em 1979. Serviu como pastor de uma igreja presbiteriana em Clinton, Pensilvânia, até 1983, quando começou a lecionar no Seminário Teológico de Pittsburgh . Um dos principais interesses de Purves é a Cristologia. Ele defende continuamente uma conexão vital entre a pessoa e a obra do Senhor Jesus Cristo em sua humanidade vicária e na vida cristã; uma conexão fundada na união do crente com Cristo. Grande parte do trabalho de Purves é um chamado para recuperar a tradição cristológica clássica da Igreja, renovando assim a Igreja através da doutrina tradicional e da sabedoria dos escritores patrísticos. Alguns o associam ao movimento paleo-ortodoxo. Ele se tornou um líder da renovação evangélica na Igreja Presbiteriana dos Estados Unidos da América e tornou-se conhecido nessa denominação por seu apoio a visões cristãs conservadoras, reivindicando a centralidade de Cristo.
