Charles Gordon Strachan (24 January 1934 – 7 July 2010) was a Church of Scotland minister, theologian, university lecturer and author.
[1] He was regarded as a radical thinker with unorthodox views, such as his claim that Jesus may have travelled to Britain during his lost years to study with the Druids.
[5] The subject of his doctoral thesis was Edward Irving, a 19th-century Scottish divine denounced as a heretic.
Strachan was active in the Iona Community, taught courses at the Office of Lifelong Learning and lectured in the Department of Architecture at the University of Edinburgh.
[2][4] Strachan wrote a number of books including Jesus the Master Builder: Druid Mysteries and the Dawn of Christianity, which was the basis of a 45-minute documentary titled And Did Those Feet (2009) by Ted Harrison.
