"The Covenants And The Covenanters" by James Kerr is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book examines significant events surrounding the Covenants of the Reformed Church in Scotland, detailing the struggles against the despotism of the Papacy and monarchy to secure religious liberty. It aims to illustrate the faith and fervor of the Covenanters, who formed these covenants as a means to uphold their Christian beliefs. The opening of this work establishes the background of the Covenants, emphasizing their importance in Scottish history as a rallying point for religious and civil liberty. Kerr discusses the spiritual fervor that drove the Covenanters to bind themselves together for the purpose of worshiping God more purely, turning away from the oppressive influences of both the Church and state. He recounts early covenanting moments, such as the "Band" of Dun in 1556 and the National Covenant of 1580, highlighting their significance as pivotal acts that defined a collective commitment to the Reformed faith amidst adversity. This introductory portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the covenanting movement and its long-lasting impact on Scottish society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
