The Scottish Church 1688-1843, (Hardcover)

This first volume of a series on the Scottish church dealing largely with the church's relationship with the secular community and with the nature of Scottish nationhood after the country had been deprived of its parliament in 1707. The book makes out a case for those much abused but tolerant men, the Moderates, who turned their backs on disputes, and tried to commend the Christian faith in the period of the Enlightenment.
