'The Covenanters', 1926. The Covenanters formed an important movement in the religion and politics of Scotland in the 17th century. In religion the movement is most associated with the promotion and development of Presbyterianism as a form of church government favoured by the people, as opposed to Episcopacy, favoured by the crown. In politics the movement saw important developments in the character and operation of the Scottish Parliament, which began a steady shift away from its medieval origins. The movement as a whole was essentially conservative in tone, but it began a revolution that engulfed Scotland, England and Ireland, the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. From An Outline of Christianity, The Story of Our Civilisation, volume 3: The Rise of the Modern Church, edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake, published by the Waverley Book Club (London, 1926).
