Sketches of the Covenanters

This work concerns the covenant-keeping history of the able men and women of Scotland who gave their lives to the service, "FOR CHRIST’S CROWN AND COVENANT." The Covenanters demonstrate a tearful but God-glorifying journey in the Scottish Presbyterian movement of the 17th century. They were concerned with keeping their lives and doctrine pure in accordance with the God’s revealed will in the Scriptures, and to worship Christ freely being bound together by the National Covenant of Scotland. They would have rather died than deny Jesus Christ; as the Apostle says, “If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He also will deny us.” And as the author of this work states in unison with the Westminster Divines, “Covenant-breaking is, possibly, the most dangerous sin.” This new version brings some of the language up to date, and has been carefully transcribed from the original work (it is not a scan or facsimile). It also includes more than 50 updated illustrations.
