Sweet Believing: Eight Character Studies of the Scottish Covenanters. The
Scottish Covenanter movement of the mid-17th century was the second
great wave of religious reformation in early modern Scotland. It was
one which produced great religious leaders and martyrs. The opposition
of the state and monarchy to this version of Christianity brought into
sharp contrast the traditional religious views of church and state and
the more radical ones of the rural population which adhered to the
Covenanter cause. This study presents James Guthrie, Hugh MacKail,
Richard Cameron, David Hackston, John Brown, Margaret MacLachlan,
Margaret Wilson, John Nesbet, and James Renwick. These were men and
women who lived and died at the core of the Covenanter movement in
Scotland.
Fair Sunshine: Further Studies of the Scottish Covenanters. This
is a work which seeks to honor and glorify the men who advanced the
second great religious reformation in Scotland. James Mitchell, William
Gordon, John Dick, and Donald Cargill faced challenges in the mid-17th
century as difficult as those which Knox had encountered a hundred
years earlier. These four men and their allies and followers defied
monarchy and the state to advance a view of Presbyterianism which they
held vital to the advancement of the true religion. This is a history,
then, of true believers in the Covenanter movement.
