Description: "This important collection of essays offers what in the afterword is described as "interlocking yet often contrasting" perspectives on the interplay of the Scottish churches and parliament between the Union of 1707 and the (re-)establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. An examination by Colin Kidd of the attitudes of Scottish Presbyterians in the eighteenth century is followed by an assessment, by John McCaffrey, of the relationship between the Catholic community and the state over the whole period under review. Callum Brown then addresses the thorny question of how and whether the Church of Scotland remained an established church" -- Cover pocket.
