Sketches of Scottish Church History

by John Keddie

SKETCHES OF SCOTTISH CHURCH HISTORY is a 274-page paperback, comprising a collection of lectures and addresses on a variety of aspects of Scottish Church History in the period since the Reformation of the 16th Century.

These embrace some of the more significant events and influential personalities in the history of the Scottish Church, such as John Knox (1515-1572) and Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847). But included here are also studies of lesser-known characters and incidents in the bypaths of the history of the Scottish Church, such as Henry Balnaves of Halhill and John Davidson of Prestonpans.

The book is designed to stimulate interest in and appreciation for the individuals and incidents which showed a genuine concern to maintain the claims of ‘Christ’s Crown and Covenant’ in church and nation.

Rev John W Keddie is a retired minister of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing). Between 2008 and 2019 he served as lecturer in Church History at the Seminary of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing).
