National Churches of England, Ireland, and Scotland 1801-46

Zusatztext The novelty of the argument lies in Brown's exposure of both the common dynamics simultaneously driving events in England, Scotland and Ireland, and also of how developments in one Church could have significant, sometimes paradoxical consequences for the others ... Brown provides a satisfyingly coherent narrative ... Stewart Brown provides a fruitful new agenda for ecclesiastical historians. Informationen zum Autor Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Dean of the Faculty of Divinity, University of Edinburgh Klappentext This book explores the struggle to strengthen the influence of the national Churches in the first half of the 19th century. Those who sought strong national Churches faced the growth of Catholic nationalism in Ireland and the emergence of liberalism in Britain, as well as a movement within the Churches for independence from the State. Zusammenfassung The book provides a comparative study of the national Churches of England, Ireland, and Scotland: the Churches established by law to instruct the people and serve as guardians of the nation's faith. It traces the end of the confessional State idea in the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1846, and explores the movements to assert the spiritual independence of the Churches from State control.
