Rev Samuel Haliday is best remembered for his involvement in the First Subscription Controversy in Irish Presbyterianism but there was much more to his life and ministry, as this booklet by Rev Dr David Steers shows.
Born, probably in Omagh, in 1685, he was educated at the University of Glasgow and several other universities on the continent. He gained a fine reputation among the leading Reformed theologians in Europe, many of whom he met in his travels there.
He served as an army chaplain and at the English Court in the service of the Church of Scotland, before returning to ministry in his native Ulster where he served as minister of the First congregation in Belfast until his death in 1739.
In this excellent booklet Dr Steers describes him as one of the most able and articulate Presbyterian ministers in Ireland in the early eighteenth century.
