Synopsis

This book is a collection of foundational manifestos that aided in the formation of the Associate Synod. The Associate Synod was formed in 1733 when a group of ministers, protesting against perceived constraints from the Church of Scotland, moved to establish their separate ecclesial body. The published record of the testimony of these four founding ministers is an example of their effort to maintain a historic standard of reformed theology against what they perceived as the influence of error and laxity in the established church. The text includes a history of the events that led to the secession of the four ministers, an outline of the principles of the Associate Synod, and a collection of important acts and proceedings of the Associate Presbytery. This book will be of special interest to scholars of Christian denominations and religious history.
