Satan and the Scots: The Devil in Post-Reformation Scotland, c.1560-1700
Frequent discussions of Satan from the pulpit, in the courtroom, in print, in self-writings, and on the streets rendered the Devil an immediate and assumed presence in early modern Scotland. Exploring what it meant to live in a world in which Satan's presence was believed to be, and indeed, perceived to be, ubiquitous, this book recreates the role of the Devil in the mental worlds of the Scottish people from the Reformation through the early eighteenth century. In so doing it is both the first history of the Devil in Scotland and a case study of the profound ways that beliefs about evil can change lives and shape whole societies.

Praise for this book
"Satan and the Scots is an impressive and ambitious book; a book that, in its sheer scale, firmly cements the relationship between belief in the Devil and the past lived experiences of early modern people. All scholars of early modern religious thought, including witchcraft, should consider reading this book with care. Postgraduates will find it deeply inspiring for their own research, and undergraduates will find it a useful introduction to many early modern religious topics, including, but not limited to, the Scottish Reformation; witchcraft; and demonology."
