WHAT WOULD SAINT ANDREW’S MISSIONARY CALLING TO SCOTLAND HAVE LOOKED LIKE?

What might Saint Andrew’s calling to Scotland have looked like before there were cathedrals, relics, statues, or legends? This article approaches Andrew as contemporary Christians might approach any missionary: a man who believed God was sending him somewhere, prayed about that calling with other believers, received their blessing, and eventually went. While the details cannot be reconstructed with certainty, viewing Andrew through the ordinary practices of Christian mission makes an ancient story suddenly feel remarkably human.
