Commentary

Light in the North

---

Outline: This story of the Scottish Covenanters has a significance far beyond that of a local squabble in a provincial backwater of civilization in the seventeenth century. Limited though it is in space and time, it focuses attention upon a crucial issue which the Christian Church has had to face throughout its history, and which is as acute today as ever it was. That issue was not the question as to which form of church order and government was the most apostolic-episcopacy, presbytery, independence, or any other form. The issue was nothing less than the Crown Rights of Christ the Redeemer to be King of His people, Master of His household, and Lord of His Church. This issue the author keeps clearly before him in his timely and important book. Here is no fulsome adulation of the Covenanters, as if they had no faults. Still less are they written off as ignorant meddlers in matters too high for them, or pig-headed obscurantists refusing to face facts. Both sides are painted "warts and all," and in the light of the principle that was at stake the protagonists on both sideas are revealted as the men they were and remembered for the work they did.
