Scottish Liturgical Traditions and Religious Politics

These chapters offer a convincing reassessment of the relationship between faith and political allegiance, one which also accounts for the key role that liturgy played in Scottish religious culture [...] this edited collection is a remarkable and noteworthy contribution to how we think about political and religious allegiance, including the significant role that liturgy played in Scottish political life. -- Karie Schultz, University of St Andrews * British Catholic History *
A splendidly detailed collection which takes us beyond secular and sectarian history to demonstrate the intimate relationship between liturgy and ideology in early modern Scotland. A real advance in scholarship: next stop a Scottish version of Alexandra Walsham’s Church Papists, please. * Murray Pittock, University of Glasgow *
This is a useful book that offers something for historians and theologians. It provides useful signposts for future research on the liturgy and adds to existing scholarship on religious culture in early modern Scotland. [...] The book offers strong insights on the liturgy that previous works have not touched upon. -- Ben Rogers, University College Dublin * Northern Scotland *
This collection of essays will prove valuable for anyone seeking to understand more fully the complex development of worship beyond the more familiar presbyterian contexts in seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Scotland, and the developing Catholic and Episcopalian traditions especially as they relate to the Jacobite movement. -- John McCallum, Nottingham Trent University * Scottish Historical Review *
