"Records of the Kirk of Scotland" by the Church of Scotland General Assembly is a historical record that offers an overview of the Scottish Kirk's General Assemblies starting in 1638. This book, written in the early 19th century, explores the important times of religious history in Scotland. The book focuses on the church's reactions to the issues of the time and primarily deals with the Scottish Reformation era with its religious and government issues with the monarchy. The text starts by explaining the goal of the compilation, which makes the history of the Scottish Kirk available to people. It touches on the social and political context of the time and talks about disagreements between King Charles I and the church's need for religious reforms and the Presbyterian governance instead of Episcopacy. The book starts to paint a picture of the road to the National Covenant of 1638, highlighting tensions that resulted in the rejection of royal power and unified groups within Scottish society.
