Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

SAMUEL RUTHERFORD (1600-1661), a Scottish-born Presbyterian minister, scholar, and writer, was influential in Scottish politics through his sermons and widely read theories. His philosophies on limiting government resulted in a charge of high treason, however, he died before the trial. GEORGE BUCHANAN (1506-1582) was lauded as one of the most profound intellectuals of sixteenth-century Scotland. His writing advocated for power to the people and weakening of the monarchy which incited the ire of political pundits and was condemned by an act of parliament.
