Covenanter History Resources

Interested in learning of the storied history of the Scottish Covenanters and their Reformed Presbyterian descendants? You've come to the right place.

Here are some of the resources that I used to assemble the Historical Survey episodes of the Covenanter Cast:

Resources around the Web:

The most comprehensive historical course you can obtain on the Internet is undoubtedly the 70-part opus of Dr. Jeff Spitler of Stillwater RPCNA: http://audio.stillwaterrpc.org/church_history.php

Sinclair Horne of the Scottish Reformation Society hosts this 1990 documentary of the Covenanters which is made available on YouTube in six parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be3Uv_SglGU

The inimitable Rev David Silversides of the Reformed Presbyterian church in Northern Ireland has given numerous talks on the history of the Covenanters and they are available at SermonAudio.com

ReformationHistory.org has many interesting portraits of Covenanters and some beautiful visual historical timelines of the Scottish Reformations and Covenanter history.

Pastor Brown of Westminster RPCNA (IL) has a great 15-part outline on Reformed Presbyterian history: http://westminsterminister.blogspot.com/search/label/RP%20History
