Colonel Gardiner: A Christian Drama is a play written by Thomas Foster Barham and published in 1823. The play is based on the life of Colonel James Gardiner, a Scottish soldier who converted to Christianity after a near-death experience during the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745. The play follows the story of Gardiner, a proud and ambitious soldier who is initially skeptical of religion. However, after he is wounded in battle and experiences a vision of Christ, he undergoes a profound spiritual transformation and becomes a devout Christian. The play explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of faith. It also touches on issues of social class and the role of religion in society. Overall, Colonel Gardiner: A Christian Drama is a powerful and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and military service.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
