Scottish Liturgical Traditions And Religious Politics: From Reformers To Jacobites, 1560–1764 (Scottish Religious Cultures)

Exploring the religious cultures, beliefs and imperatives that shaped the Jacobite movement in Scotland The Revolution of 1688-90 was accompanied in Scotland by a Church Settlement which dismantled the Episcopalian governance of the church. Clergy were ousted and liturgical traditions were replaced by the new Presbyterian order. As Episcopalians, non-jurors and Catholics were sidelined under the new regime, they drew on their different confessional and liturgical inheritances - pre- and post-Reformation - to respond to ecclesiastical change and inform their support of the movement to restore the Stuarts. In so doing, they had a profound effect on the ways in which worship was conducted and considered in Britain and beyond. This book provides a fresh examination of the Jacobite movement based not on dynastic identification but on confessional and intellectual bases of support, focusing on the composite and nuanced traditions that sustained the Jacobite movement for seven decades beyond the 1688-90 Revolution.
