Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Scottish Church, Vol. 2 The author has much reason to be gratified with the criticisms of the press on the first volume of his history. His statement in the preface that he did not profess to be colourless in his opinions, was interpreted by some critics as an admission that he had written in the spirit and with the design of a partisan. He submits that the words were susceptible of a different interpretation. The writer of Church history, who is aware of his own bias in things ecclesiastical, is the more likely to be on his guard against it, and to steer an even course between divergent lines of historical representation. This has been his honest endeavour in the second volume as in the first. But as the modern period, now brought under review, bristles with controversial matter over which historians have disputed from the Reformation downwards, he has no very sanguine expectation that his treatment of it will escape the charge of partisanship from extreme men of any school. To succeed in satisfying such as are themselves partisans would assuredly be the clearest proof of partisanship. The author desires to express his obligations to the Rev. George Sutherland, Portsoy, the Rev. J. C. Barry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Scottish Church: Its Doctrine and Discipline Prejudices are difficult to overcome; traditions arising from them die hard. The Church in Scotland as it existed in the sixth century has been the source and centre of many of them. They have been repeated and confuted, and repeated and confuted again and again. We welcome the following work by Father Columba Edmonds, O.S.B., of Fort Augustus - not so much, perhaps, because he tells us anything new upon the interesting question of debate, whether the Columban Church acknowledged the supremacy of Rome or not, but because he brings together the contentions of the various Churches which at the present time claim this venerable one as their own, and puts the facts and the arguments for and against in a concise and, at the same time, a comprehensive form. Father Columba may justly be regarded as an authority on this subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Early Scottish Church by : Thomas MacLauchlan
Download or read book The Early Scottish Church written by Thomas MacLauchlan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Scottish Church: The Ecclesiastical History of Scotland From the First to the Twelfth Century This volume is the result of an effort to fill up a blank in the Ecclesiastical History of Scotland. Monograms exist on periods and persons introduced throughout it; and also brief sketches of the period, in works on Scottish Church History, preparatory to the history of more recent and more prominent events, but no work exists whose sole object is to present the reader with a consecutive and connected view of the period embraced. This was to be regretted, considering the importance of the events recorded, and their influence upon the future state of the Church in Scotland. Inferences, not borne out by historical facts, were drawn from assumptions regarding the early Church, by parties of various, and even of contending views, and antiquity was cited in support of conclusions which in reality derived no aid from its testimony. The author has endeavoured to collect his facts from the most trustworthy sources, linking them in a continuous narrative. Although these sources are few, yet, when the straggling rays are gathered together, it is wonderful how much light they afford. Impartiality has been earnestly studied throughout, the writer having but one object in view, the discovery of truth in questions of national interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of the Scottish Church at the Reformation As the life of John Knox has been so Often written, I had some misgivings as to whether he should appear here for separate treatment, but it was impossible to exclude him - the greatest Of them all, and incalculably influencing all the others. I have not, however, in his case given a biography, but, as stated in the text, have selected certain incidents in his career, features in his character, and aspects of truth he emphasised, which are closely related to the work Of reform. I have also laid stress on his modern Spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Church and Its Surroundings: In Early Times The following sketches contain, in a more or less connected form, a bird's-eye view of the rise and development of Christianity in Britain, especially North Britain, during the first seven centuries of our era. They were first delivered to the congregation and parishioners of Kirkinner, and formed a course of monthly lectures in the winters of 1881-1882, 1882-1883. The aim the writer had in view in their construction was, to exhibit in a popular form the rise and progress of the Church in connection with the general history of our country in these early times.

Book Synopsis Scotland and the Scottish Church (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Caswall
Download or read book Scotland and the Scottish Church (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Caswall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland and the Scottish Church Of those in England who are acquainted with the history of Scottish Episcopacy, it may be safely as serted that the depth of their own Church principles is usually proportionate to the regard which they bear to the depressed Church in the North. Yet, to a great extent, the grossest ignorance and misap prehension on this subject are unhappily prevalent. There are, indeed, members of the Church of Eng land who regard Scottish Episcopacy as a schism, set up in unrighteous opposition to the Kirk, and who sympathize altogether with the party, which, owing to accidental circumstances, has obtained the advan tages of a legal establishment. It appeared to the writer, from such considera tions as the above, that some utility might be found in a book which, though small and portable, should yet serve to clear up popular mistakes and miscon ceptions, and to unravel the apparently entangled web of Scottish Church History. It was thought also that such a work, while giving due credit to the Establishment and its ofi'shoots, might plainly set forth the real grounds of Episcopacy, might shew the instruction to be derived from the misfortunes of other communities, and might point out the benefits and the dangers connected with free synodical action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Church of Scotland: From the Introduction of Christianity to the Period of the Disruption in 1843 There is also a necessary continuity of character, as of being, in the life and history of any Church; and that charac ter can'never be rightly understood, how ever familiar we may be with the details of its general history, unless we have a clear and true conception of those lead in g principles which have always formed the master element of its essential exist ence. By keeping them steadily in view, we shall be able to trace distinctly all the various changes and alternations of its course, marking and understanding not merely those external events which are manifest to the world, but those unseen influences which move, and mould, and animate the whole. Even in periods of comparative stagnation, when there seems to be a cessation of all active and vital impulses, the knowledge of what forms the essential characteristics of a national Church may enable us to detect the otherwise imperceptible progress _of a deep and calm under-current, preparing for some new and mighty developement of silently-ripened energies, by which the whole structure of society may be convulsed, and constrained to assume a new aspect, more in conformit with the character of its inward mora and reli gions life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse on Scottish Church History: From the Reformation to the Present Time, With Prefatory Remarks on the S. Giles's Lectures, and Appendix of Notes and References And then, as we approach the period of the Reformation, we appreciate and admire the contrast, vividly drawn, between the noble and upward course of the pioneers of the recovery of Gospel Light and Truth - especially Patrick Hamilton, Alexander Alesius, and George Wishart, and the perverse downward course of their opponents, the champions of Darkness and Error - the ill-fated Cardinal Beaton, the double-minded Earl of Arran, and the weak and dissolute King James V. (Lect. 4). In these first four Lectures, it is scarcely necessary for me to say there is little or nothing which we Episcopalians should not have listened to with pleasure, or should have hesitated to welcome, had they been heard from any of our own pulpits; and though, when we reach the Reformation itself, it was not to be expected that this harmony of sentiment would continue to be maintained to the same extent, yet we thankfully observe that the points on which we become constrained to differ from the positions of the succeeding Lecturers, are still very few in comparison with those upon which we can cordially and unreservedly agree with them. With this observation, we enter upon the fifth Lecture, which it is necessary to notice in more detail. No one can be more ready than the present writer (as, indeed, I showed in a discourse preached and published more than twenty years ago on occasion of the Tercentenary in 1860) to pay to Knox the honour he deserved for his "supreme loyalty to the Word of God" (p. 151), his unswerving "vindication of the paramount authority of Holy Scripture" (p. 133). But when it is objected to our "landed gentry," that they "stand aloof from the Church of Knox" (p. 148), I must be permitted to reply that it is Presbyterians themselves who, at the present day, stand further aloof from the Church of Knox than Episcopalians do.
