Abstract
This book chapter examines why Andrew Melville used Ramist pedagogy in his educational reform programme for the Scottish universities between 1574 and 1606. Comparing Scottish educational developments with reforms at Continental universities where Ramism was employed as a methodology, it argues that the Ramist 'method' provided an ideal model for making theology candidates effective preachers in an era when rapid training of a new ministry was required.
