Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Church of Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Reformation to the Present Time IN submitting to the public a new history of the ecclesias tical affairs of Scotland, it will perhaps displease some readers to find, in the contents of this volume, so much that is Opposed to the opinions and representations of other historians of the period embraced therein; but facts have been honestly detailed, as they have been vouched for by the contemporary authors on both sides of politics. The episcopalian Spottis wood, and the presbyterian Calderwood, correspond exactly in their accounts of the most material facts, although they differ most essentially in their opinions, and in their deduc tions from the same premises. Facts, however, are stubborn things, and cannot, without detriment to truth, be turned and moulded to suit peculiar or sectarian views. The truth or history has been strictly adhered to, without respect of persons; quotations have not been garbled nor have either friends or adversaries been designedly misrepresented. Such disin genuousness was foreign to the principles on which this work was written for if an account shall be demanded at'the day 'of judgment for every idle word that we speak, how much stricter will the scrutiny be into those falsehoods or wilful mis representations which we may commit to writing.

Excerpt from Lectures on the History of the Church of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Reformation to the Revolution Settlement It has often been the subject of regret to others, as it was to himself, that the pressure of engrossing public duties prevented the Author from accomplishing a pur pose for which, by the concurrent testimony of those of his contemporaries who were best entitled to give an opinion, he was so eminently qualified and it is due to his memory to say, that the present work, however valuable, and although presented in a form perhaps more adapted for the general reader, in many respects differs in its character from such a contribution to the history of ecclesiastical affairs in this country as he him self desired to give to the world.

Pages : 516
Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Church in Scotland, Vol. 1 This volume records the history of the Church in Scotland from its beginnings to the stage marked by the assassination of Cardinal Beaton on the eve of the Reformation. With regard to a considerable part of the ground covered, the indulgence due to pioneer work may reasonably be claimed. During the past fifty years so much light has been cast on the Celtic period by scholarly research, and upon the Medieval period by the publication of documents, that the history of the Church in these periods has been written with little assistance from existing Church Histories. Grubs Ecclesiastical History of Scotland was published in 1861; Cunningham's Church History of Scotland appeared in 1859, and the second edition, issued in 1882, was in the main a reproduction of the first. All students will acknowledge that narratives written at those dates require to be rewritten, and that estimates which then seemed adequate must be reconsidered. The compensation for such work lies in the hope that some events and changes which half a century ago were obscure and almost unintelligible may be brought for the reader, as they have been for the writer, within the region of clear history. The need of presenting facts now ascertained with sufficient detail makes it impossible to discuss fully topics of which some readers may expect special treatment - topics such as Church architecture, Church music and Canon law. In Scotland Church life and national life have been so closely connected that reference must frequently be made to Political Histories.
