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.[2][3][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.[6]
