Opis

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.

Recenzje

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.
