| Summary | "Records of the Kirk of Scotland" by the Church of Scotland General Assembly is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This compilation presents the acts and proceedings of the General Assemblies of the Kirk from 1638 onwards, detailing significant events during a critical period in Scottish religious history. The book aims to chronicle the church's responses to political and ecclesiastical challenges, particularly those surrounding the Reformation in Scotland and ensuing conflicts with the monarchy. The opening of the text provides an introduction explaining the intent behind the compilation, which is to make the history of the Scottish Kirk accessible to the public. It discusses the socio-political landscape of the time, touching on the conflicts between King Charles I and his subjects over religious reforms and the establishment of Episcopacy versus Presbyterian governance. The narrative begins to outline the events leading up to the National Covenant of 1638, highlighting the tensions that resulted in a pushback against royal authority and a unification of various factions within Scottish society.
