Annals of the persecution in Scotland : $b From the Restoration to the Revolution

"Annals of the Persecution in Scotland: From the Restoration to the Revolution" by James Aikman tells the story of a troubled time in Scotland. This book looks at the hard times that Presbyterians went through after the king came back and brought Episcopacy back with him. Aikman describes the fights over religion and what the government did that changed people's lives and the country. The story starts by thinking about how persecution has always been part of Christianity, especially for the Scottish church. The reader learns about what happened before Charles II became king, including the problems between the king and the Presbyterian Church and arguments between different Protestant groups. People like the Marquis of Argyle and important church leaders are introduced to show their part in the big fight between politics and religion. The beginning makes things feel tense, hinting at bad things to come as the king gains power and makes the church do what he wants.
