This volume, by G. D. Henderson was first published in 1937. It is comprised of several studies, some formerly published as articles, which touch upon the most important features of Scotland's religious life in the seventeenth century and also bring together information on less outstanding points of interest. External influences, both political and religious, are also considered, providing a wider context of European history for the affairs of the Scottish Church. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history and development of religious practice and thought in Scotland.
