This was written to tell the story of who the Covenanters were and to describe their heroic and sacrificial stand for the freedom of religion and worship. Much of the freedoms that are enjoyed by Western nationals today can be traced back to the costly and brave stance of the Covenanters as they opposed the political interference of the government in the affairs of the church.
