Overview

This short volume reflects Robert S. Candlish’s views of the Church of Scotland’s General Assembly of 1840 and the doctrinal and ecclesiastical principles involved. The controversy surrounding the relationship between the Church of Scotland’s independence and the civil law of Scotland would lead to the Disruption of 1843, when a large portion of the Church broke away to form the Free Church of Scotland.
