Product Description

Product Description
In the days when the Kirk expected to exert discipline over the Scottish nation, the ministers of Crammond parish, on the shores of the Forth and on the outskirts of Edinburgh, sat weekly with their elders to review the morals of their parishioners, to receive reports of misbehaviour and to bring proven offenders to the Kirk for public rebuke and repentance. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. This diverting account, drawn from the Kirk session minutes, shows how Calvinist teaching might point people in one direction, but how people in their turn - either slyly or defiantly - chose to go in another.
