Testimony of the Covenant

John Knox is known as a Reformer, rather than of a man who feared God and Richard Cameron as the opponent of tyranny, more so than a man of prayer. James Guthrie and James Renwick were very public martyrs in their Declarations and on the gallows. In common, they were witnessing for Jesus Christ as Head of their Church. Their testimony was passive by way of confession and martyrdom, and sufferings and verbal contendings, and witnessing against the prevailing corruptions of the time. This illustrated book has appendices of relevant documents, and examples of devotions and witnessing sermons. Quotations are fully referenced,along with a bibliography and a full Name Index. It seeks to explain the “why” in the story of the Covenanters of Scotland in the 17th century.
