Enemies of god : the witch-hunt in Scotland
"Christina Larner's widely acclaimed book surveys the witch-hunt in Scotland during the period when witchcraft was classed as a criminal offence punishable by death. It discusses the relationship of witch-beliefs in Scotland to those of other cultures and compares the Scottish witch-hunt with that of continental Europe. Based on extensive research of primary sources, emphasis is placed on the broad issues raised by the witch-hunt, the beliefs which made it possible, and the changes in religion and society which encouraged its rise in the sixteenth century and its decline a little more than a century later."--Jacket
