About the author

The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is not an individual author but the church’s highest court and governing body. It normally meets each year and is chaired by a Moderator elected at the start of the Assembly.

Its records stretch back to the Reformation era, and official catalogues describe surviving General Assembly material from 1560 onward. These acts, papers, reports, and proceedings capture how the Church of Scotland handled worship, doctrine, discipline, administration, and its relationship with Scottish society over many generations.

Because of that long institutional history, works credited to the General Assembly are best read as official documents rather than personal writing. They are especially valuable for anyone exploring Presbyterian history, Scottish public life, or the development of church law and practice.
