Original Letters Relating to the Ecclesiastical Affairs of Scotland, Vol. 2: Chiefly Written By, or Addressed to His Majesty King James the Sixth ... to the English Throne (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book contains the proceedings of the 1614 General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. The Assembly met in Perth during the reign of King James I, amidst heightened tensions between the Scottish Crown and the Church. The book provides a unique insight into the religious and political debates of the era, as the Assembly considered a series of measures aimed at reforming the Scottish Church. The measures, collectively known as the Five Articles of Perth, included the introduction of kneeling at communion, observation of the major Christian festivals, private baptism, and confirmation by bishops. The book explores the arguments for and against each article, shedding light on the theological and political dynamics of the time. It also highlights the role of key figures such as King James and Archbishop John Spottiswoode in shaping the course of the Assembly. Through its detailed account of the debates and decisions made at Perth, this book offers a valuable resource for understanding the complex relationship between church and state in early modern Scotland.
