Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland: Complete in One Volume
Christianity had now acquired a sort of civil establishment. It was the religion of the state; but it had not yet obtained any legal endowment, or permanent provision for the support of ministers. They must have been dependent upon the contributions of their respective flocks, agreeably to the di vine ordinance; and this will always be found an adequate source of support when pastors and flocks are faithful to one ah other, and when both are disposed to obey the Christian precept, to be content with what God is pleased to bestow, believing his promise, that he will not leave nor for sake them.

Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland: Complete in One Volume
The southern refugees are said above to have led a solitary life and it was very natural that those who had been driven, for the gospel's sake, from country and friends, and, perhaps reduced to a state of poverty, should cultivate retirement, at least separa tion from the world. But that they did not altogether seclude themselves from so ciety, like many in other places, who aban doued the company of men to live in deserts, is, I think, evident from the state ment of the historian. The word, cell, with a different pronunciation of the initial let ter, furnishes the well known names of many of our towns and churches to this day. Thus, Kilpatrick, Kilmalcom, &c. The cells of the Culdees must have been places of public resort, else the word could scarcely have become synonymous with church. The Culdees were probably pas tors of Christian congregations, who assem bled at their cells, or places of residence, for divine worship. While the majority of the people were still heathen, and enemies to their religion, they would of course choose retired places for their meetings, where they could hear the word, and enjoy Christian fellowship without disturbance or hostile intrusion, just as our covenanters did in the time of persecution. These last were called mountain men, because they held their meetings for social worship in recesses of the mountains; and some of their mini sters were compelled to reside not only in cells, but caves of the earth.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of religion in Scotland, specifically focusing on the Reformation of the 16th century. The author examines the evolution of religious practices from the introduction of Christianity to the rise of the Protestant movement, spanning a period of twelve centuries. The book traces the development of the Scottish Church from its early independent state, influenced by the Culdees and the arrival of St. Columba, to its eventual subjugation under the authority of Rome. The author explores the complex interplay of political and religious forces that shaped the Scottish landscape. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the role of prominent figures such as St. Patrick, Servanus, Ninian, and Kentigern, and the impact of their teachings on the development of the Church. The book further delves into the social and economic ramifications of the Reformation, examining the power struggles between the clergy and the state, and the consequences of the Churchââ â¢s acceptance of a state endowment. The book offers valuable insights into the rich history of religion in Scotland, illuminating the unique and often challenging journey the Church endured as it navigated the turbulent currents of religious change and political upheaval.
