Excerpt from The Stars and the Angels, or the Natural History of the Universe and Its Inhabitants Yet, why should such a concession be made? The existence of a law presupposes the existence of a legislator; and the operation of a law presupposes the existence of an executive. In the one, we have a constant testimony-to God's infinite wisdom and goodness; in the other, we have a visible exhibition of present power. Moreover, if the operation of law be the general style of God's administration, as it unquestionably is, it must be the most characteristic; and if it bathe most characteristic, shall we dare to say that it is not the most glorious? The Christian who knows his Father best, is the man who would sooner recognize Him in the still small voice of his normal administration, than in the whirlwind and the earthquake of lawless power.

ISBN: 0191077224

This three-volume work comprises over eighty essays surveying the history of Scottish theology from the early middle ages onwards. Written by an international team of scholars, the collection provides the most comprehensive review yet of the theological movements, figures, and themes that have shaped Scottish culture and exercised a significant influence in other parts of the world. Attention is given to different traditions and to the dispersion of Scottish theology through exile, migration, and missionary activity. The volumes present in diachronic perspective the theologies that have flourished in Scotland from early monasticism until the end of the twentieth century. The History of Scottish Theology, Volume I covers the period from the appearance of Christianity around the time of Columba to the era of Reformed Orthodoxy in the seventeenth century. Volume II begins with the early Enlightenment and concludes in late Victorian Scotland. Volume III explores the 'long twentieth century'. Recurrent themes and challenges are assessed, but also new currents and theological movements that arose through Renaissance humanism, Reformation teaching, federal theology, the Scottish Enlightenment, evangelicalism, missionary, Biblical criticism, idealist philosophy, dialectical theology, and existentialism. Chapters also consider the Scots Catholic colleges in Europe, Gaelic women writers, philosophical scepticism, the dialogue with science, and the reception of theology in liturgy, hymnody, art, literature, architecture, and stained glass. Contributors also discuss the treatment of theological themes in Scottish literature.
