Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the 1733 publication entitled A Display of the Secession-Testimony, which chronicles the principles and practices of a group of Scottish ministers who broke away from the established Church of Scotland in 1733. The author delves into the historical context of the Secession, providing a comprehensive analysis of the judicial testimony given by the breakaway ministers. The book explores the motivations behind the ministers' decision to secede, highlighting their concerns over the perceived decline of religious purity and the increasing influence of civil authorities in ecclesiastical matters. The author also examines the subsequent treatment of the Secession-Testimony, particularly the alterations and omissions made by the Associate Synod in their 1780 publication, The Re-Exhibition of the Testimony. This book argues that these changes were not simply editorial corrections but rather an attempt to suppress certain aspects of the original testimony. The author contends that this suppression was motivated by the Associate Synod's desire to downplay the Seceders' commitment to the principles of covenanted reformation. Overall, this book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of the Secession movement and its significance in Scottish religious history. It provides a detailed examination of the original Secession-Testimony and its subsequent treatment, shedding light on the theological and political dynamics that shaped the Scottish Reformation.
