Reviews
[this] is an invaluable contribution to Scottish historiography and will be essential reading for all who wish to study Scotland the seventeenth century, the Scottish reformation, or the Scottish context of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. -- SCOTTISH HISTORICAL REVIEW
A remarkably comprehensive survey of the state of current scholarship on a fast-growing field of study by eleven new and seasoned scholars of early modern Scotland [and a] wonderfully cohesive collection. * JOURNAL OF THE NORTHERN RENAISSANCE *
[An] amazingly in-depth study -- JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY
Wide-ranging and well-focused -- JOURNAL OF SCOTTISH HISTORICAL STUDIES
This much-needed volume ultimately overturns and reconsiders long-standing stereotypes about Covenanted Scotland by demonstrating the highly fractious and contested (rather than cohesive) nature of the movement. . . . [E]ssential reading for scholars looking for new, cutting-edge approaches to religious and political diversity in early modern Scotland. * STUDIA CELTICA FENNICA *
Insightful and thought provoking. * HISTORY *
The National Covenant in Scotland effectively rebukes previous scholarship that treated Scotland as a sidebar when discussing one of the most significant events in the kingdom's own early modern history. [...] Langley and his contributors have paved the way for future scholars to continue to unearth the uniquely Scottish experiences of the seventeenth century. -- Elizabeth Tapscott * Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies and Renaissance Quarterly *
The size of the book allows the development of particular themes in a way that a more structural history of 'social gospel' tendencies would not. -- David Thompson * Modern Believing *
