Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Robert Leighton's lectures read like a devotional systematic theology. The author has many useful things to say on the subjects addressed, though it is a shame that more topics were not discussed. Appended to this volume is a defence of moderate or reduced episcopacy, which Leighton believed was congruous both with a system of presbyterial government and with the original intent of the Solemn League and Covenant. He makes some reasonable points, but he perhaps overlooked the political context in which the later Covenanters operated that would have rendered such an accommodation unworkable.
