Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Principal Rainy, Vol. 1 of 2 This work will be found to be, in many respects, an ecclesiastical history as well as a biography. It is the life of one whose career was not simply connected with, but practically identified with, the fortunes of a Church. Both the structure and the character of the book have been moulded in obedience to this primary fact. As regards structure, the chapters have been arranged, for the most part, according to the stages of the ecclesiastical story. The personal figure has never for long been lost sight of in this setting, but it has not been thought necessary continually to interrupt the narrative of the progress of public questions by a careful chronological insertion of minor matters in Dr. Rainy´s personal life. Some of these minor matters - such as journeys and the like - have been intentionally omitted in order not to disturb the focus on important historical topics. The question to be settled regarding the character of the book is more difficult, and not every reader may think that it has been settled rightly. There will be found in these pages not merely the narration of much of the history of the Scottish Church during the last three-quarters of a century, but also considerable discussion of it. Now, certainly the ideal biography or history is that which merely tells its tale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
