Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MILLIGAN, WILLIAM (1821-1892) , Scottish theologian, was born on the 15th of March 1821, the eldest son of the Rev. George Milligan and his wife
Janet
  Fraser. He was educa ted at the High School, Edinburgh, and, from the age of fourteen, at the university of St Andrews, where he graduated in 1839. In 1843 at the disruption he took the side of those who remained in the
Establishment
 , and in 1844 became minister of Cameron in Fifeshire. In 1845, his health having given way, he went to Germany, and studied at the university of
Halle
 . After his return to
Scotland
  and his resumption of his clerical duties he began to write articles on Biblical and
critical
  subjects for various reviews. This led to his appointment in 186o to the professorship of Biblical criticism in the university of Aberdeen. In 187o he was appointed one of the committee for the revision of the
translation
  ofthe New Testament. His fervent piety, and his wide
interest
  in educational and social questions, extended his influence far beyond the circle of theologians. His contributions to periodical literature for many years were numerous and valuable; but his reputation chiefly rests on his works on the Resurrection (1890) and Ascension of our Lord (1892), his Baird lectures (1886) on the
Revelation
  of St John, and his Discussions (1893) on that book. All these volumes are distinguished by
great
  learning and acuteness, as well as by breadth and originality of view. He died on the 11th of December 1892.
