The First and Second Books of Discipline were amongst the constitutional foundation documents of the Scottish Reformation, and for four and a half centuries have been relied on to guide the polity of Presbyterian churches around the world. Their scholarly editing and publication a generation ago helped to revive serious study in the Church's constitutional law; and this reprint makes very important material available in a time of immense organisational change in the Church. Rev Dr Marjory A MacLean Deputy Principal Clerk to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland

'The Book of Common Prayer' is a vital religious text that has been used by the Church of England for centuries. The Episcopal Church in Scotland adopted its own version in 1912, featuring the Scottish Communion Office and other minor additions and deviations from the English version. This edition replaced earlier Scottish parishes' use of the English version. The text includes the Psalms of David, prayers for the administration of the sacraments and other rites, and guidance on the making, ordaining, and consecration of bishops, priests, and deacons. This important historical document is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of liturgy in religious practice.

“A true church, Reformed according to God’s Word, is the dwelling place of God, maintaining and declaring the truth which He has been pleased to reveal,” writes author Malcolm Watts in What Is a Reformed Church? Watts then looks specifically at the basics of the Reformed faith and explains, both biblically and historically, the distinctives of a Reformed church, its doctrines, and its practices in worship, church government, church discipline, and evangelism. For both believers who are just discovering the Reformed faith and those who need to be reminded of its distinctives, this handbook offers readers solid answers to the question of what it means to be Reformed. Table of Contents: The Distinctives of a Reformed Church The Great Emphasis of Reformed Doctrine A Right View of Worship The Government of the Church Reformed Church Discipline Reformed Evangelism Maintaining the Reformed Faith
