Description

Exploring the processes of religious change in early-modern Scotland, this collection of essays goes beyond the usual focus on the decades either side of the Reformation Parliament of 1560. Instead it takes a longer-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 thus examines the ways in which tensions and conflicts that had their origins in the mid-sixteenth century continued to impact upon Scotland in the often violent seventeenth century.
