Robert Wodrow Books

Robert Wodrow was a Scottish minister and historian renowned as a chronicler and defender of the Covenanters. His major work meticulously documented and denounced the persecution of the Covenanters following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. Wodrow pioneered the use of "publick records, original papers, and manuscripts of that time" in his historical research. By incorporating numerous firsthand accounts, he produced a significant martyrology that the church would later turn to during times of hardship.
