Items related to Scottish Piety: A Miscellany from Five Centuries
Despite the multiplicity of scholarly works on Scottish church history which have appeared in recent decades, very little has been written about what religious men and women would have regarded as their deepest concerns. This anthology aims to rectify that omission by gathering together prayers and praises from writings by Scottish Christians since the time of the Reformation. The quoted extracts range from William Dunbar and John Knox across the troubled times of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the very recent past. The volume concludes with commentary on a prayer by George MacLeod from Iona. Throughout the text there is linking and explanatory commentary by the late Professor Cheyne, distilling his immense knowledge and love of Scottish religious literature through his humorous and economic style.
