Description
The Scottish church was forever altered by the arrival of the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Its legacy endured, and provoked a flurry of theological re–examinations which form the foundation for much of our modern understanding of Reformed Theology. In this informed and accessible historical study, Donald MacLeod, one of Scotland’s current leading theologians, looks to the past to assess the impact of prominent theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, always with an eye to demonstrating how their writings speak to contemporary challenges facing the Church today.
Endorsements
Whether you are interested in Scottish theology or not, you will not be able to put down this intriguing volume, for it touches on the big questions that face all humans, and in so doing, takes us into the heights and depths of Christian theology. I have found him to be judicious and fair; always relating theological truth to the world we live in.

I have been waiting for this book to be written for over thirty years. And Donald Macleod is the only one who could have written it. The history is important. The theology more so.
