Book Overview

The History of the Scottish Church Volume 2 is a detailed account of the development of the church in Scotland from the 16th to the 19th century. Written by W. Stephen, a renowned Scottish historian and theologian, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the religious and social changes that occurred during this period. The book begins with an examination of the Reformation in Scotland, including the role of John Knox and the establishment of the Presbyterian Church. It then moves on to explore the struggles between the church and the state, particularly during the reign of James VI and I. The later chapters of the book focus on the Scottish Enlightenment and the impact it had on the church, as well as the various religious revivals that took place throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Throughout the book, Stephen draws on a wide range of primary sources, including official church records, personal diaries, and contemporary accounts. He also provides detailed analysis of key events and individuals, such as the Covenanters and the Disruption of 1843. Overall, The History of the Scottish Church Volume 2 is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the Scottish church, as well as the broader social and political context in which it developed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
