Title: God's other children
First published: 1997
Description: This is the first full-length work on the fate of the Protestant nonconformists in Ireland following the restoration of the monarchy and the Church of Ireland in 1660. Of the religious groups studied in this book - the Scottish and English Presbyterians, the congregationalists, the Baptists, and the Friends - only the Scottish Presbyterians had established themselves prior to the revolutionary upheavals of the 1640's and 1650's.

In addition to examining the internal history of these groups from the restoration to the eve of the penal laws in the early eighteenth century, the author also explores the relationships between the civil authorities and the restored state church and the nonconformists.
