He entered See also:Glasgow Theological See also:Academy under See also:Ralph See also:Wardlaw in See also:September 1827, but in See also:December of the same See also:year he See also:left to become classical See also:tutor at the See also:Blackburn Theological Academy (afterwards the See also:Lancashire See also:Independent See also:College).

church (afterwards Argyle Square), Edinburgh, an independent church which had arisen out of the evangelical See also:movement associated with the Haldanes. He deliberately put aside the ambition to become a See also:pulpit orator in favour of the practice of biblical exposition, which he invested with a singular See also:charm and impressiveness. In 1836 he became one of the editors of the Congregational See also:Magazine, to which he contributed articles on biblical literature and See also:theology and on the " voluntary " controversy. In 184o he delivered the Congregational Lecture in London on the " Connexion and See also:Harmony of the Old and New Testaments."
Alexander took an active See also:part in the " voluntary " controversy which ended in the Disruption, but he also maintained broad and See also:catholic views of the spiritual relations between different sections of the See also:Christian church. In 1845 he visited See also:Switzerland with the See also:special See also:object of inquiring into the religious See also:life of the churches there. He published an See also:account of his See also:journey in a See also:book, Switzerland and the' Swiss Churches, which led to an inter-See also:change of See also:correspondence between the Swiss and Scottish churches. In 1845 he received the degree of D.D. from the university of St Andrews. In 1861 he undertook the editorship of the third edition of See also:Kitto's Biblical See also:Encyclopaedia with the understanding that the whole See also:work should be thoroughly revised and brought up to date. In See also:January 187o he became one of the See also:committee of Old Testament revisers, and by his thorough biblical scholarship rendered exceptional service to the See also:board; he enjoyed the work and devoted much See also:- TIME (0.
