Description:Excerpt from A History of the Church in Scotland, Vol. 1 This volume records the history of the Church in Scotland from its beginnings to the stage marked by the assassination of Cardinal Beaton on the eve of the Reformation. With regard to a considerable part of the ground covered, the indulgence due to pioneer work may reasonably be claimed. During the past fifty years so much light has been cast on the Celtic period by scholarly research, and upon the Medieval period by the publication of documents, that the history of the Church in these periods has been written with little assistance from existing Church Histories. Grubs Ecclesiastical History of Scotland was published in 1861; Cunningham's Church History of Scotland appeared in 1859, and the second edition, issued in 1882, was in the main a reproduction of the first. All students will acknowledge that narratives written at those dates require to be rewritten, and that estimates which then seemed adequate must be reconsidered. The compensation for such work lies in the hope that some events and changes which half a century ago were obscure and almost unintelligible may be brought for the reader, as they have been for the writer, within the region of clear history. The need of presenting facts now ascertained with sufficient detail makes it impossible to discuss fully topics of which some readers may expect special treatment - topics such as Church architecture, Church music and Canon law. In Scotland Church life and national life have been so closely connected that reference must frequently be made to Political Histories.
