The book covers Rainy's theological views, his role in the formation of the United Free Church of Scotland, and his influence on Scottish religious and political life.

Reseña del editor

Christ -- is character; and the Scottish Church leader of whom we are to speak, though he suffered from malicious misconstruction and at times laid himself open to misunderstanding, was essentially throughout a man of unselfish goodness. He was not merely disinterested but in all personal questions a high-minded gentleman ;he was not only godly but deeply spiritual. Still, when we have said that, it remains no less true that the contribution which Dr. Kainy slife offered to the service of the kingdom of God took the form of ecclesiastical statesmanship. He did not make himself a leader in thought or in scholarship, nor yet in direct Christian work, so much as in Church business.
