This is a great reference for students of British Ecclesiastical history, or for British historians. John Knox and the Coventers are all covered in this text as well as many other aspects of the great reformation country. Excellent referance for Pastors looking for illustration material as well.

This is a fascinating encyclopaedia of Scottish history as it relates to the church. (Most Scottish History had something to do with the church and its reformation) Not a book one would read from cover to cover, but a ready reference which has had me following one reference to another gaining wonderful insights to the otherwise shadowy realms of how the Christian faith has shaped Scotland and given the nation a significance in world history disproportionate to its size. I'll never part with my copy.

This is an excellent modern dictionary by reliable Scottish contributors and has much information not readily available elsewhere. It is a great pity that the publishers have not seen fit to reprint it or make it available in an electronic form.
