Synopsis
The Principles of the Westminster Standards Persecuting is a book written by William Marshall and published in 1873. The book delves into the religious and political history of the Westminster Standards, a set of documents that were created by the Church of Scotland in the 17th century. Marshall argues that these standards, which include the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, were used to persecute and suppress dissenting voices within the church and society at large. Marshall provides a detailed analysis of the history of the Westminster Standards, tracing their origins and development. He also examines the ways in which they were used to justify persecution, including the persecution of Quakers, Catholics, and other religious minorities. Marshall argues that the Westminster Standards were not only used to suppress dissenting voices, but that they also contributed to a broader culture of intolerance and persecution in Scotland and beyond.The book is written in a scholarly style and includes extensive footnotes and references. It provides a valuable contribution to the study of religious and political history in Scotland and the wider British Isles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
