This book examines the historical development of tithes, obligatory payments generally allocated to religious institutions, placing particular emphasis on how this practice affected Scotland. Beginning with the Old Testament period, the author demonstrates how tithes were established in Jewish tradition. He then traces the concept's evolution within the Christian church, observing that the Roman Catholic church strategically used Old Testament passages to justify tithing to their congregations. In the Scottish reformation, church lands and tithes fell under the crown's control, with a portion being granted to the reformed clergy for sustenance. The author highlights the struggle between the clergy's desire for a reasonable living from tithes and the landowners' resistance to tithe payments. This conflict led to the submission of both parties to King Charles I, who sought to rectify abuses committed by those granted rights to tithes by the Crown. This book provides valuable insights into the complex history of tithes and their impact on Scottish society.
