Faithful Contendings Displayed is a historical book written by John Howie, a Scottish Presbyterian minister, and published in 1780. The book is a detailed account of the struggles and sufferings of the Scottish Covenanters from the 16th to the 18th century. The Covenanters were a group of Scottish Presbyterians who pledged to defend their religious beliefs against the interference of the state and the Anglican Church.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the history of the Covenanters from the Reformation to the Restoration in 1660. It covers the period of the Scottish Reformation, the rise of Presbyterianism, and the conflicts with the Stuart monarchs, particularly James VI and Charles I. The second part covers the period from the Restoration to the Glorious Revolution in 1688. It describes the persecution and oppression of the Covenanters under the rule of Charles II and James VII, including the brutal executions of many Covenanters.The book is a valuable source of information for anyone interested in the history of the Scottish Reformation and the Covenanters. It provides a vivid description of the struggles and sufferings of the Covenanters, their steadfast faith, and their commitment to their religious beliefs. The book also highlights the importance of religious freedom and the right to worship according to one's conscience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
