Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Story of the Church in Scotland: From the Earliest Times Down to the Present Day
IN this volume an endeavour has been made to render a comprehensive account of ecclesiastical and religious move ments in Scotland from the original planting of Christianity down to the close of the nineteenth century. Avoiding as far as possible details of civil history, attention has been given to Acts of Parliament and contrivances of statesmen only in so far as these have affected the interests of the Church in regard to its government and constitution. In so wide a field it is perhaps too much to expect that the attempt to maintain a fair proportion in the narrative, and strict impartiality of statement, has been altogether suc cessful. But the author has not intentionally passed over anything that should have been told to the credit of any of the denominations that have existed or may yet exist in the Scottish ecclesiastical world; and he has sought to deal faithfully and generously with the memories of the great men who in all the various divisions of the Church in Scot land have contributed to the theological literature and to the religious life of the country.
