Summary | "The Booke of the Universall Kirk of Scotland" by Alexander Peterkin is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text compiles records and documents from the Reformed Church in Scotland between the years 1560 and 1616, documenting the church's early history and governance. The work aims to preserve the foundational acts and conclusions of the church's assemblies, emphasizing significant developments during a tumultuous period marked by ecclesiastical reform. The opening of the book provides a detailed introduction to its historical context and the challenges faced in compiling the original records, which had been lost and subsequently destroyed in a fire. It outlines the initial goals for gathering and publishing these ecclesiastical records, alongside the remarkable involvement of figures like Dr. Lee, who sought their restoration. As the book progresses, it sets the stage for a structured discussion on various church governance matters, including the regulations for church conduct, roles of ministers, and the structure of assemblies that defined the Reformed Church's operations during this critical period in Scottish history.
