First published in 1980 by The St Andrew Press, Edinburgh. The First and Second Books of Discipline were amongst the constitutional foundation documents of the Scottish Reformation, and for four and a half centuries have been relied on to guide the polity of Presbyterian churches around the world. Their scholarly editing and publication a generation ago helped to revive serious study in the Church’s constitutional law; this reprint makes very important material available once again in a time of immense organisational change in the Church. "The Books of Discipline were amongst the foundation documents of the Scottish Reformation, and this important reprint makes them available for the very different Church of today." Rev Dr Marjory A MacLean Depute Clerk to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
