The Life and Letters of James Renwick

James Renwick, the last Covenanter martyr, was hanged at twenty-six for refusing to acknowledge the king’s supremacy over Christ’s church. Carslaw weaves Renwick’s letters, sermons, and courtroom testimonies into a narrative that reads like Acts 29. The young man’s joy in the face of death, his tender concern for his mother, and his unshakable confidence in the crown rights of the Redeemer will inspire modern readers to stand firm where conscience and Scripture point. A biography that proves youth is no barrier to heroic faith.
