Publisher's Synopsis
The Rise and Progress of Presbyterianism is a historical account of the development of the Presbyterian Church from its origins in Scotland to its spread across Europe and America. Written by George Broadley Howard and published in 1898, the book provides a detailed analysis of the theological and political factors that shaped the Presbyterian movement, including the role of John Knox and the Scottish Reformation. The book also includes several appendices that explore related topics such as religious toleration and the quest for Christian unity. Howard argues that the Presbyterian Church played a significant role in the development of religious freedom and democracy, and that its commitment to a representative form of church government has had a lasting impact on Western society. Overall, The Rise and Progress of Presbyterianism is a comprehensive and insightful study of one of the most influential religious movements in history. It will be of interest to students of theology, history, and political science, as well as anyone interested in the role of religion in shaping modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
