The Scottish Patmos: A Standing Testimony To Patriotic Christian Devotion is a book written by James Moir Porteous and originally published in 1881. The book is a historical account of the religious persecution of the Scottish people during the 17th century. It focuses on the story of the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian Christians who were persecuted and martyred for their beliefs during a time when the Church of Scotland was under attack from the English monarchy. The title of the book refers to the island of Patmos, where the Apostle John was exiled and wrote the Book of Revelation. The author draws a parallel between the suffering of the Covenanters and the trials of John on Patmos. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of the Covenanters' struggle, including their beliefs, their leaders, and their persecution. Porteous also includes biographical sketches of some of the most prominent Covenanters, such as Richard Cameron and James Renwick. Throughout the book, Porteous emphasizes the patriotic and religious devotion of the Covenanters, and their willingness to suffer and die for their beliefs. He also highlights the role of women in the Covenanter movement, who were often subjected to brutal treatment alongside their male counterparts. The Scottish Patmos is a powerful and moving account of a little-known chapter in Scottish history. It is a testament to the courage and faith of the Covenanters, and a reminder of the importance of religious freedom and tolerance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
