Preserving a Reformed Heritage
This is the story of the Free Church of Scotland in the 20th Century. It outlines the life and witness of the Church throughout the century dealing with some of the issues which faced the Church in that period. A companion volume entitled 'A Divided Church', provides an account of the division which occurred in the Free Church of Scotland in 2000, a division that led to the emergence of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing). This is not an exhaustive history, nor is it an 'official' one. It is in the nature of 'Aspects of the History of the Free Church of Scotland in the 20th Century.' The Free Church itself reflected a confessional evangelical and reformed position throughout the century, though not without testing times, not least right at the end of the century.

A Divided Church
A Divided Church is an account of the division that took place in the Free Church of Scotland, a conservative evangelical and reformed church, in the year 2000. The story is told of events that led to the division and the perceived inadequacies of procedures in church and state which impacted upon events leading up to the division. The book is written from the perspective of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing), the smaller part of the divided Church. It is a story that requires to be told and it is written with care and conciseness by the lecturer in Church History and Church Principles at the Seminary of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing).

George Smeaton
George Smeaton lived through a period of turbulence in theological and biblical studies. There is no doubt that Smeaton was a man of irenical and gracious spirit. In assessing his life in the Church it is inevitable that his attitudes to the controversial issues will come to the forefront It is not known what became of Smeatons papers or books, though apparently most of his considerable library was donated to the New College Library, Edinburgh. This book is a sketch of the life of one of the foremost Reformed theologians and divines of Victorian Scotland. George Smeaton was a man of God, a faithful minister of the gospel, and an accomplished New Testament scholar. It is fitting that his major works should have been rediscovered by lovers of the truth in recent years. He has rested from his labours, but his works follow him.
Republican Jesus
The complete guide to debunking right-wing misinterpretations of the Bible—from economics and immigration to gender and sexuality. Jesus loves borders, guns, unborn babies, and economic prosperity and hates homosexuality, taxes, welfare, and universal healthcare—or so say many Republican politicians, pundits, and preachers. Through outrageous misreadings of the New Testament gospels that started almost a century ago, conservative influencers have conjured a version of Jesus that speaks to their fears, desires, and resentments. In Republican Jesus, Tony Keddie explains not only where this right-wing Christ came from and what he stands for but also why this version of Jesus is a fraud. By restoring Republicans’ cherry-picked gospel texts to their original literary and historical contexts, Keddie dismantles the biblical basis for Republican positions on hot-button issues like Big Government, taxation, abortion, immigration, and climate change. At the same time, he introduces readers to an ancient Jesus whose life experiences and ethics were totally unlike those of modern Americans, conservatives and liberals alike.
Thomas Chalmers
This is a brief biographical sketch of one of the great leaders of the Scottish Presbyterian Church. Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) became an outstanding evangelical preacher in the first half of the 19th century. Besides this he was an able mathematician, scientist, social reformer, moral philosopher and theologian. He was a leader of the evangelicals in the years leading up to the 'Disruption' of 1843 when about a third of the ministers and people of the Church of Scotland left the National Church to form the Free Church of Scotland. Previously the Professor of Divinity in Edinburgh University (1828-1843), he became Professor in Theology in the Free Church College up to his passing in 1847. A man of great erudition and piety, his memory should be kept alive as one of the godly 'cloud of witnesses' who call every generation to follow Jesus Christ as they have done in their day.
Titanic - The Ship of Dreams
As the Titanic sank, John Harper was focused on saving souls. As his life came to a close, he still preached the gospel.
Then Came a Cloud
This is largely a sporting biography of Kenneth Grant Macleod (1888-1967). Macleod in his day was an outstanding track runner, played county cricket with Lancashire CCC, and international rugby football for Scotland, all before the First World War. The book covers in depth all Macleod's sports performances from his school days. It also provides details of his family background, war-time experiences, subsequent family life and immigration to South Africa in the 1930s. K. G. Macleod was inducted to the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. He is considered one of Scotland's greatest ever rugby players and sporting all-rounders.
