Excerpt from The History of the Rise, Progress, and Principles of the Relief Church: Embracing Notices of the Other Religious Denominations in Scotland
Whatever is the weakness or ability with which this history is exe outed, the principles of the Relief fathers will be found the diamond, though set in the basest metal. In this volume materials are at least provided, and sources from whence information may be obtained are pointedtout, so that some other historiographer may yet prosecute the subject with more ease and success, and throw the glow of genius around the principles and actions of the best of men, to whom the religious public of Scotland owe a debt of gratitude which they are slow to repay.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the history of the Relief Church from its foundation, through its struggles against the establishment, and eventual triumph of its principles. The Relief Church was founded in Scotland by the Reverend Thomas Gillespie, who was deposed from the Church of Scotland in the 18th century for refusing to acknowledge the authority of the civil magistrate in religious matters. The Relief Church quickly gained a following among those who supported Gillespie and his principles, eventually leading to a split within the Church of Scotland. The book examines the Relief Church's history and its role within the broader context of the Scottish Enlightenment and the rise of religious liberalism. By exploring the origins, beliefs, and impact of the Relief Church, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between religion and politics in 18th-century Scotland.
