Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. New Edition. 1985. 167pp. Postscript by R.D. Kernohan. Very good condition with no inscriptions. "A keen churchman and historian, as well as best-selling novelist, John Buchan brings the past to life in this fascinating panorama: a masterpiece of easy reading. From the missionary days of Ninian an…d Columba, through the growth of the church and its civilising influence, to the tempestuous years of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, he draws a moving picture of devotion and courage. The disquiet of those years, which was perpetuated in the later clashes between presbyterian and episcopalian ideals, culminated in the Disruption of 1843. The subsequent period of claim and counter-claim-came to a triumphant conclusion in the historic Union of 1929. RD Kernohan succinctly portrays the momentous developments since then. Throughout, Buchan and Kernohan focus on the distinctive society underlying each change, creating a widely-embracing picture with sensitivity and vision. John Buchan the novelist was also an historian, lawyer, tax expert, diplomat, biographer and poet of high distinction. His Scottish upbring-ing supplied the basis and inspiration for his extraordinary range of work. His many interests and accomplishments reach their full flowering in this seminal work. RD Kernohan was born in Glasgow and, like Buchan, graduated first class from its university. He has been Editor of the Church of Scotland's magazine Life and Work since 1972; he is presently working on an important book on lay people in the Scottish and other church traditions.".
