John Colquhoun (1 January, 1748 – 27 November, 1827) was a Scottish minister.
He was born in Luss and studied at Glasgow University. He was ordained as minister in the Church of Scotland in 1781, and served in just once church, in Leith, for 45 years.[1]
Colquhoun wrote a number of books: Spiritual Comfort (1813), Law and Gospel (1815), The Covenant of Grace (1818), The Covenant of Works (1822), Saving Faith (1824), The Promises (1825), and Evangelical Repentance (1826). Sinclair Ferguson suggests that in his day he may have been the leading evangelical minister in the Church of Scotland.[2] Theologically, he was influenced by the Marrowmen.[3]
