Routledge - Defending the Revolution: The Church of Scotland

Explore the religious and theological landscape of the British Isles during a period of massive change. Defending the Revolution: The Church of Scotland 1689-1716 examines the era between the landing of William of Orange and the establishment of the Union between Scotland and England. While the Glorious Revolution of 1688-90 reshaped political and cultural maps, the specific religious dimensions in Scotland have often been overlooked in favor of English and Irish history. This book provides a necessary look at the theological underpinnings of the Revolution in Scotland. It fills a gap in historical scholarship by focusing on how the Church of Scotland navigated these shifting political tides. Readers will gain a better understanding of the religious forces that shaped the nation during these formative years. This work is an essential resource for those interested in Scottish history, religious studies, and the complex legacy of the Glorious Revolution.
