Download or read book Robert Burns and Religion written by Walter McGinty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. This text examines the role of religion in the life of the poet Robert Burns. Incorporating previously unexplored sources, and taking into consideration contemporary work on Burns, and on Scottish literature and history, author J. Walter McGinty presents an account of Burns's personal religion and the factors that helped to form it. McGinty begins by discussing the recurring themes in Burns's religious writings: a belief in a benevolent God; a hankering after, if not a hope, that there might be a life after death; and a sense of his own accountability. He then presents for comparison the religious poetry of two of Burns's contemporaries, William Cowper and Christopher Smart, usefully extending the discussion of Burns beyond the purely Scottish context. Finally, McGinty provides portraits of some of the ministers of "The Church of Scotland's Garland-A New Song", followed by an analysis of Burns's religious poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the integral role of Christianity in eighteenth-century Scottish life is key to understanding the enigma that is Robert Burns. Equally, the poetry of Burns provides penetrating insights into religious life in Scotland and religion in general. This is the starting premise of this enlightening book. Told chronologically, it recounts the story of Burns' life from his family's background in the Mearns to his early death in Dumfries and his influence beyond. Integral to Burns' life was his relationship with God and religion and the fascinating dilemma - how did this intensely moral man reconcile his faith with his notoriously libertarian lifestyle?
