Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book humorously presents an alternative and opinionated view of events in Scotland's religious history during the mid-19th century. Focused around a fictional court case, the author uses real-life incidents and characters to illustrate his argument that a focus on minor detail can obscure fundamental religious truth. The author discusses the broader context of religious difference that runs through Scottish history, bringing clarity to the subject. He argues that the deep-seated division between what he terms 'evangelical' and 'rational' Christianity is a constant feature of Scotland's religious experience. The book uses satire and humor to underscore the consequences of religious division, particularly when it comes at the expense of broader societal unity.
