A Handbook of the Church of Scotland, written by James Rankin and published in 1879, is a comprehensive guide to the history, beliefs, and practices of the Church of Scotland. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the church's theology and organization. The first section provides an overview of the church's history, tracing its origins back to the Reformation in the 16th century and discussing its role in Scottish society over the centuries. The second section delves into the church's theology, discussing its beliefs about God, Christ, and salvation. The third section covers the church's organization and governance, including the role of ministers, elders, and deacons, as well as the structure of the church's courts and the process for appointing new ministers. The fourth section provides information on the church's worship services, including the order of service and the use of hymns and prayers. Throughout the book, Rankin provides numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate the church's teachings and practices, as well as insights into the challenges and controversies that the church has faced over the years. The book concludes with a list of recommended books and resources for further study. Overall, A Handbook of the Church of Scotland is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the history, beliefs, and practices of this important religious institution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
