Synopsis

Discover Scotland’s religious past through contested church governance, reform, and bold leaders. This volume surveys the ecclesiastical history from the late medieval church through the Reformation and its lasting effects, tracing how bishops, ministers, and parliaments shaped Scottish religion and society. It blends narrative with documentary evidence to illuminate the struggles between civil authority and church reform, including the rise of Presbyterianism and the tension around episcopal power.

- Follow key figures like John Knox and James Melville as they influence doctrine, policy, and practice.
- See how parishes, bishoprics, and the Book of Common Order evolved under changing rulers and councils.
- Explore major events: convocation and parliaments, reform measures, and the clash over liturgy and church governance.
- Understand the broader impact on Scottish politics, education, and culture during a pivotal era.

Ideal for readers of church history, Scottish history, and readers seeking a measured, source-based account of the Reformation’s aftermath.
