Who was Gordon Strachan?
Charles Gordon Strachan was a Church of Scotland minister, theologian, university lecturer and author. He was regarded as a radical thinker with unorthodox views, such as his claim that Jesus may have travelled to Britain during his lost years to study with the Druids.
After attending St Edward's School, Oxford, Strachan went on to obtain a degree in History from Oxford University and a PhD in Theology from New College, Edinburgh. The subject of his doctoral thesis was Edward Irving, a 19th-century Scottish divine denounced as a heretic. Strachan was active in the Iona Community, taught courses at the Office of Lifelong Learning and lectured in the Department of Architecture at Edinburgh University.
Strachan wrote a number of books including Jesus the Master Builder: Druid Mysteries and the Dawn of Christianity, which was the basis of a 45-minute documentary titled And Did Those Feet by Ted Harrison.
