The course will reflect on the historical and theological landmarks of Christianity in Scotland (e.g. the pre-Reformation and Reformation Church, the National Covenant, Presbyterians and Episcopalians, the rise of evangelicalism in the 19th century and the changing situations in the 20th and 21st centuries). The course will also consider at points the particular situation here in the North-East of Scotland and (if possible) include the religious topography of Old Aberdeen.
