...sprightly Scot who speaks with a trace of a burr, McCracken estimates that he has delivered more than 5,000 sermons since deciding to become a minister, at the age of 17, upon hearing a lecture by a visiting Congo missionary. McCracken, who held pastorates in Edinburgh and Glasgow and taught at Canada's McMaster University before coming to Riverside, firmly believes that "a theology that isn't preached has something lacking."

At 17, while studying in Edinburgh, he fell platonically in love with an older woman who was Catholic, and when his father precautiously transferred him to the University of Glasgow, Boswell ran off to London, intending to be converted and take holy orders. Before taking orders, he took a girl named Sally Forrester, whose charms persuaded him of his "duty to enjoy" a secular life. He enjoyed it so much that even a case of "that distemper with which Venus...
