Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Protestantism Revolution and Scottish Political Thought written by Karie Schultz and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Scottish Revolution (1637-1651), royalists and Covenanters appealed to Scottish law, custom and traditional views on kingship to debate the limits of King Charles I's authority. But they also engaged with the political ideas of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestant and Catholic intellectuals beyond the British Isles. This book explores the under-examined European context for Scottish political thought by analysing how royalists and Covenanters adapted Lutheran, Calvinist, and Catholic political ideas to their own debates about church and state. In doing so, it argues that Scots advanced languages of political legitimacy to help solve a crisis about the doctrines, ceremonies and polity of their national church. It therefore reinserts the importance of ecclesiology to the development of early modern political theory.

Download or read book Sacred Signs in Reformation Scotland written by Stephen Mark Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Signs in Reformation Scotland is the first study of how public worship was interpreted in Renaissance Scotland and offers a radically new way of understanding the Scottish Reformation. It first defines the history and method of "liturgical interpretation" (using the methods of medieval Biblical exegesis to explain worship), then shows why it was central to medieval and early modern Western European religious culture. The rest of the book uses Scotland as a case study for a multidisciplinary investigation of the place of liturgical interpretation in this culture. Stephen Mark Holmes uses the methods of "book history" to discover the place of liturgical interpretation in education, sermons and pastoral practice and also investigates its impact on material culture, especially church buildings and furnishings. A study of books and their owners reveals networks of clergy in Scotland committed to the liturgy and Catholic reform, especially the "Aberdeen liturgists." Holmes corrects current scholarship by showing that their influence lasted beyond 1560 and suggests that they created the distinctive religious culture of North-East Scotland (later a centrer of Catholic recusancy, Episcopalianism and Jacobitism). The final two chapters investigate what happened to liturgical interpretation in Scottish religious culture after the Protestant Reformation of 1559-60, showing that while it declined in importance in Catholic circles, a Reformed Protestant version of liturgical interpretation was created and flourished which used exactly the same method to produce both an interpretation of the Reformed sacramental rites and an "anti-commentary" on Catholic liturgy. The book demonstrates an important continuity across the Reformation divide arguing that the "Scottish Reformation" is best seen as both Catholic and Protestant, with the reformers on both sides having more in common than they or subsequent historians have allowed.

Download or read book Scotland s Long Reformation written by John McCallum and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring processes of religious change in early-modern Scotland, this collection of essays takes a long-term perspective to consider developments in belief, identity, church structures and the social context of religion from the late-fifteenth century through to the mid-seventeenth century. The volume examines the ways in which tensions and conflicts with origins in the mid-sixteenth century continued to impact upon Scotland in the often violent seventeenth century, while also tracing deep continuities in Scotland's religious, cultural and intellectual life. The essays, the fruits of new research in the field, are united by a concern to appreciate fully the ambiguity of religious identity in post-Reformation Scotland, and to move beyond simplistic notions of a straightforward and unidirectional transition from Catholicism to Protestantism.

Download or read book Civic Reformation and Religious Change in Sixteenth Century Scottish Towns written by Timothy Slonosky and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civic Reformation and Religious Change in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Towns demonstrates the crucial role of Scotland's townspeople in the dramatic Protestant Reformation of 1560. It shows that Scottish Protestants were much more successful than their counterparts in France and the Netherlands at introducing religious change because they had the acquiescence of urban populations. As town councils controlled critical aspects of civic religion, their explicit cooperation was vital to ensuring that the reforms introduced at the national level by the military and political victory of the Protestants were actually implemented. Focusing on the towns of Dundee, Stirling and Haddington, this book argues that the councillors and inhabitants gave this support because successive crises of plague, war and economic collapse shook their faith in the existing Catholic order and left them fearful of further conflict. As a result, the Protestants faced little popular opposition, and Scotland avoided the popular religious violence and division which occurred elsewhere in Europe.

Download or read book The Scottish Liturgy written by W. Perry and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Liturgy: Its Value and History This small volume makes no pretension to be a substitute for the masterly work of the late Bishop Dowden, entitled The Annotated Scottish Communion Office, a book which will remain indispensable to any student who desires to under stand thoroughly the origin and structure of the Scottish liturgy of 1764. My object has been to provide for the general reader a plain exposition of the Value of the liturgy of 1912, along with some explanation of its origin and growth. As contrast makes for clearness, I have been at some pains to compare the liturgy, not only with some ancient forms, but also with the English rite; and, if my criticism of the latter appears somewhat unsympathetic and unqualified, it is not because I am devoid of appreciation for the rugged and massive strength of the English liturgy, which bears on its face the marks and scars of the Reformation movement, but because the amount of paper at my disposal in these days of war has obliged me to exclude everything that is not essential to my purpose.

This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traditional Ceremonial and Customs Connected With the Scottish Liturgy Several friends have pressed upon the writer the desirability of adding a Short appendix of instructions for the clergy who wish to observe the more desirable of the old usages when celebrating the Holy Communion at the present day. But for many reasons this has not been done. It has been the writer's intention to present an impartial account of what has come down to us, whether good or bad, without selection; to produce a book for the liturgical student and not a directory for use in church. Moreover, the surroundings of the Church's worship in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries obviously included many things which ought rather to be avoided than imitated, and the writer did not wish to incur the charge of attempting to revive the bad as well as the good - a charge which experience has shown to be very readily levelled against one who ventures to suggest that any ceremonial mistakes have been made by the revivalists of the last half century. At the same time it is impossible to be blind to the practical value Of many of these half-forgotten traditions, and the clergy to whom the principles professed by the compilers Of Our liturgy appeal, will not find it difficult to refuse the evil and choose the good among the practices handed down from the days in which those compilers lived.

Download or read book Rethinking the Scottish Revolution written by Laura A. M. Stewart and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English revolution is one of the most intensely-debated events in history; parallel events in Scotland have never attracted the same degree of interest. Rethinking the Scottish Revolution argues for a new interpretation of the seventeenth-century Scottish revolution that goes beyond questions about its radicalism, and reconsiders its place within an overarching 'British' narrative. Laura Stewart analyses how interactions between print and manuscript polemic, crowds, and political performances enabled protestors against a Prayer Book to destroy Charles I's Scottish government. Particular attention is given to the way in which debate in Scotland was affected by the emergence of London as a major publishing centre. The subscription of the 1638 National Covenant occurred within this context and further politicized subordinate social groups that included women. Unlike in England, however, public debate was contained. A remodelled constitution revivified the institutions of civil and ecclesiastical governance, enabling Covenanted Scotland to pursue interventionist policies in Ireland and England - albeit at terrible cost to the Scottish people. War transformed the nature of state power in Scotland, but this achievement was contentious and fragile. A key weakness lay in the separation of ecclesiastical and civil authority, which justified for some a strictly conditional understanding of obedience to temporal authority. Rethinking the Scottish Revolution explores challenges to legitimacy of the Covenanted constitution, but qualifies the idea that Scotland was set on a course to destruction as a result. Covenanted government was overthrown by the new model army in 1651, but its ideals persisted. In Scotland as well as England, the language of liberty, true religion, and the public interest had justified resistance to Charles I. The Scottish revolution embedded a distinctive and durable political culture that ultimately proved resistant to assimilation into the nascent British state.

Download or read book Scotland and the Wider World written by Neil McIntyre and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides for a historical perspective of Scotland's interaction with the world beyond its borders. As one of the most prolific historians of his generation, Allan I. Macinnes, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Strathclyde, has been foremost in promoting an international rather than insular approach to the study of Scotland. In a distinguished career he has written extensively on the Scottish Highlands, the British revolutions, the formation of the United Kingdom, the Jacobite movement, and Scottish involvement in the British Empire. The chapters collected here reflect the extent of these interests and a commitment to understanding Scotland - or indeed, other territorial units - in an international or global context. Covering a period from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, essays examine the complex interaction of the peoples of the British and Irish isles; they consider Scottish participation in Britannic and European conflict; and they explore Scottish involvement in business networks, political unions, and maritime empires. From intellectual and cultural exchange to political and military upheaval, Scotland and the Wider World will be key reading for anyone interested in the antecedents to Scotland's current international standing.

Download or read book The First Scottish Enlightenment written by Kelsey Jackson Williams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional accounts of the Scottish Enlightenment present the half-century or so before 1750 as, at best, a not-yet fully realised precursor to the era of Hume and Smith, at worst, a period of superstition and religious bigotry. This is the first book-length study to systematically challenge that notion. Instead, it argues that the era between approximately 1680 and 1745 was a 'First' Scottish Enlightenment, part of the continent-wide phenomenon of early Enlightenment and led by the Jacobites, Episcopalians, and Catholics of north-eastern Scotland. It makes this argument through an intensive study of the dramatic changes in historiographical practice which took place in Scotland during this era, showing how the documentary scholarship of Jean Mabillon and the Maurists was eagerly received and rapidly developed in Scottish historical circles, resulting in the wholesale demolition of the older, Humanist myths of Scottish origins and their replacement with the foundations of our modern understanding of early Scottish history. This volume accordingly challenges many of the truisms surrounding seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Scottish history, pushing back against notions of pre-Enlightenment Scotland as backward, insular, and intellectually impoverished and mapping a richly polymathic, erudite, and transnational web of scholars, readers, and polemicists. It highlights the enduring cultural links with France and argues for the central importance of Scotland's two principal religious minorities—Episcopalians and Catholics—in the growth of Enlightenment thinking. As such, it makes a major intervention in the intellectual and cultural histories of Scotland, early modern Europe, and the Enlightenment itself.
