Emotions in Scottish Protestant Public Worship, 1560-1638
AvNathan C. J. Hood
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 131 kr
Skickas
This book explores the affective dimension of Scottish Protestant public worship in early modern Scotland. It examines how the intensely emotional character of Scottish Puritan or godly piety was reflective of the emotional norms many Scots had to navigate in congregational worship following the Protestant Reformation. Using historiographical approaches developed within the history of emotions discipline, the book argues that in corporate rituals such as prayer, preaching, public repentance, fasting and the Lord's Supper, Scottish Protestants were expected to experience and express a variety of feelings that were associated with the cycle of conversion. These prescribed emotions were seen as integral to the efficacy of the liturgy, playing a vital role in the individual's, community's and nation's encounter with God. The book argues that these standards of emotion were informed by medieval, secular and protestant sources and new perspectives emerge on their profound impact upon the major political events that shaped seventeenth century Scotland.

Civic Reformation and Religious Change in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Towns

Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 072 kr
Skickas
Civic Reformation and Religious Change in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Towns demonstrates the crucial role of Scotland's townspeople in the dramatic Protestant Reformation of 1560. It shows that Scottish Protestants were much more successful than their counterparts in France and the Netherlands at introducing religious change because they had the acquiescence of urban populations. As town councils controlled critical aspects of civic religion, their explicit cooperation was vital to ensuring that the reforms introduced at the national level by the military and political victory of the Protestants were actually implemented.Focusing on the towns of Dundee, Stirling and Haddington, this book argues that the councillors and inhabitants gave this support because successive crises of plague, war and economic collapse shook their faith in the existing Catholic order and left them fearful of further conflict. As a result, the Protestants faced little popular opposition, and Scotland avoided the popular religious violence and division which occurred elsewhere in Europe.

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Social Christianity in Scotland and Beyond explores the multifarious initiatives known variously as 'social Christianity', 'Christian socialism', or the 'social gospel', that spanned countries, continents, decades, and denominations. Building on the scholarship of Stewart J. Brown, to whom this volume is dedicated, fourteen leading and emerging scholars of the history of Christianity consider the varying social policies and initiatives that Christians have pursued in response to industrialisation, urbanisation, expanding global trade networks, and nascent democratic politics. With a particular focus on religious communities in Scotland, the essays provide comparative lenses with which to view sociological and theological developments through examinations of similar phenomena in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. In adopting an international perspective that extends beyond Britain and the US, this volume encourages a more holistic understanding of social Christianity as part of a multifaceted and fluid belief system that evolved and shifted according to context.

The first intellectual biography of Alexander Hetherwick, a key figure in Scotland-Malawi relationsMakes extensive use of rarely consulted primary sources, both in Malawi and in Scotland, with particular attention to Hetherwick's prolific correspondenceIncludes a fresh account of the dynamics at play in the creation of Malawi as a nation, with special attention to the role played by Scottish missionaries, Hetherwick in particularPresents a critical examination of the way in which Blantyre Mission both absorbed and resisted the prevailing racism and colonialism of the early 20th centuryPresents an appraisal of Blantyre Mission's distinctive philosophy and policy; and of how, under Hetherwick's leadership, it navigated the social, cultural and political challenges of the early 20th centuryMission, race and colonialism were three forces shaping Malawi's history during the early years of the twentieth century. These three found a concentrated meeting point in the life of Scottish missionary Alexander Hetherwick, who led Blantyre Mission from 1898 to 1928. This book presents a fresh assessment of this towering figure in Malawi's history, contesting the scholarly consensus that Hetherwick betrayed the early ideals of Blantyre Mission by compromising too much with the colonial system that was in force during his leadership. The book assesses the pervasive influence of colonialism, from which Hetherwick was not exempt, and traces the ways in which he resisted such influence through his relentless commitment to the interests of the African community and the inspiration he found in the emergence of the African church.

Kirk Discipline and Roman Catholicism in Early Modern Scotland
AvRyan Burns

Skickas
This book analyses the Scottish kirk's use of public shame to persecute the kingdom's Catholic minority. In early modern Scotland, where the national church mandated that a specially constructed stool of repentance be placed directly in front of every minister's pulpit, the dreadful spectacle of public penance was a routine feature of parish life. The book examines this process of ritualised shame.Drawing on recent advances in the study of kirk discipline, underground Catholicism and the history of emotion, it unsettles understandings of religious persecution. Ryan Burns analyses the psychological pressure inflicted on religious dissidents, some of whom attempted suicide rather than submit to the repentance stool. The book examines the spectacle of public penance, as well as the Presbyterian kirk's often creative means of inducing humiliation.

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
One of the great tragedies of the history of the church is that the Eucharist, intended to both symbolise and promote the unity of the church, has become a primary dividing point among Christians. Today, the Eucharistic prayer of invocation is assumed to involve transubstantiation, and is lauded or derided on the basis of that understanding. Few users of the American or Scottish Prayerbooks or their descendants realise that the Eucharistic theology of those that (re)introduced that liturgy with its invocation into the Anglican stream categorically rejected transubstantiation. In his 1831 work, The Christian Sacrifice in the Eucharist, Bishop Alexander Jolly promoted for a wide audience a view of the Eucharist that had flourished in Scotland for centuries. That Eucharistic doctrine has the potential to bridge the gap between major strands of Christianity.

The prestigious Gifford Lectures were established in 1887 by Adam Lord Gifford (1820–1887), a senator of the College of Justice in Scotland. The purpose of Lord Gifford’s bequest to the universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, and Aberdeen was to sponsor lectures to 'promote and diffuse the study of Natural Theology in the widest sense of the term–in other words, the knowledge of God'. After 135 years of lectures, this book presents a reflection and reevaluation.What were the circumstances leading to the foundation of Gifford’s lectures? What were the aims of the lectures, and to what extent have the lectures delivered fulfilled these aims? And what might be the best approaches in the twenty-first century to honour that intent? This book examines the history of the Giffords in an effort to imagine its future trajectories.

This book explores the significance of religious faith in forming the personal choices, the course of events and the structure of society in Highland Strathspey in the Jacobite era. Combining study of the Presbyterian establishment in Strathspey’s parishes with an account of the Jacobite wars in the region, it challenges misconceptions about the lack of Presbyterian reach north of the Tay in the early eighteenth century.Frank D. Bardgett studies church records to account for the Revolutionary settlement as a veneer imposed by proprietorial authority on traditional Gaelic culture. He also shows that the acceptance of parish ministries was achieved through interaction with communal aspirations. With a chronological structure focusing on the period 1689 to 1746, the book interweaves ecclesiastical developments with political and military activities and traces the significance of both religion and clan to personal and communal identity in this area of the Scottish Highlands.

This book provides an overview of the realist eucharistic theology of the Scottish Episcopal Church, highlighting its rich history with important links to Scripture, ancient sources, theological reflection and the present. The developed realism of Scottish Episcopal eucharistic theology presents an alternative in the Anglican Communion with important historical, sacramental and ecclesial implications.Brian Douglas shows that significant realist eucharistic theology was present in Scottish Episcopalianism and its eucharistic liturgies from the Reformation onwards, with emphasis on the role of the Spirit, oblation, eucharistic presence and sacrifice and extended prayers of thanksgiving. Providing detailed reflection on the modern-day liturgical products of the Scottish Episcopalian Church and the underlying theology of the Eucharist, the book presents the theological and liturgical scholarship of Scottish Episcopalianism and the Scottish Episcopal Church on the Eucharist as an important alternative history and theology.

This lively new study is the very first book to offer an absorbing history of the uncharted territory that is Scottish Catholic fiction. For Scottish Catholic writers of the twentieth century, faith was the key influence on both their artistic process and creative vision. By focusing on one of the best known of Scotland's literary converts, George Mackay Brown, this book explores both the Scottish Catholic modernist movement of the twentieth century and the particularities of Brown's writing which have been routinely overlooked by previous studies. The book provides sustained and illuminating close readings of key texts in Brown's corpus and includes detailed comparisons between Brown's writing and an established canon of Catholic writers, including Graham Greene, Muriel Spark, and Flannery O'Connor.This timely book reveals that Brown's Catholic imagination extended far beyond the 'small green world' of Orkney and ultimately embraced a universal human experience.

This book sets out the importance of charity in Scottish Reformation studies. Based on extensive archival research involving more than thirty parishes, it sheds new light on the practice of poor relief in the century following the Reformation.John McCallum challenges the assumption that charitable activity was weak and informal in Scotland by uncovering the surviving records of welfare work carried out by the church. And he skilfully demonstrates that kirk sessions were key welfare providers in early modern Scotland and provided effective relief to a range of people who struggled in poverty. In addition to the analysis of specific parish activities, readers gain a rare insight into the lives of the poor Scots who looked to the church for assistance in the early modern era.

Exploring the entanglement of religion and psychotherapy in twentieth-century ScotlandFar from being washed away by the tide of secularization that swept post-war United Kingdom, one of the ways in which Christianity in Scotland survived, and transformed itself, was by drawing on the alliances that it had built earlier in the century with psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Psychoanalysis was seen as a way to purify Christianity, and to propel it in a scientifically rational and socially progressive direction. This book draws upon a wealth of archival research to uncover the complex interaction between religion and psychotherapy in twentieth-century Scotland. It explores the practical and intellectual alliance created between the Scottish churches and Scottish psychotherapy that found expression in the work of celebrated figures such as the radical psychiatrist R.D. Laing and the pioneering psychoanalyst W.R.D. Fairbairn, as well as the careers of less well-known individuals such as the psychotherapist Winifred Rushforth.Key Features-Uncovers the hidden alliance between psychoanalytic psychotherapy and Scottish Christianity.-Exposes the continuity running from Christian discourses, practices and organizations to New Age spirituality in Scotland.-Draws on extensive archival research on key figures such as R.D.

In 1690, the Church of Scotland rejected episcopal authority and settled as Presbyterian. The adjacent Presbyteries of Stirling and Dunblane covered an area that included both lowland and highland communities, speaking both English and Gaelic and supporting both the new government and the old thus forming a representative picture of the nation as a whole. This book examines the ways in which the two Presbyteries operated administratively, theologically and geographically under the new regime. By surveying and analysing surviving church records from 1687 to 1710 at Presbytery and parish level, Muirhead shows how the two Presbyteries related to civil authorities, how they dealt with problematic discipline cases referred by the Kirk Sessions, their involvement in the Union negotiations and their overall functioning as human, as well as religious, institution in seventeenth-century Scotland. The resulting study advances our understanding of the profound impact that Presbyteries had on those involved with them in any capacity.

Kosher haggis, tartan kippot, and Jewish Burns’ Suppers: Jews acculturated to Scotland within one generation and quickly inflected Jewish culture in a Scottish idiom. This book analyses the religious aspects of this transition through a transnational perspective on migration in the first three decades of the twentieth century. As immigrants began to outnumber the established Jewish community, and Eastern European rabbis challenged the British Jewish leadership in London, Scottish Jewry underwent momentous changes. The book examines this tumultuous period through a thematic biography of Salis Daiches, Scotland’s most significant rabbi. Drawing on previously unseen archival material, including Rabbi Daiches’ personal correspondence, the book provides a window into the dynamics of Jewish religious life and power relations.

Revealing the impact of diasporic Scots on church and society in South Africa and beyondUtilising a large trove of primary source documents, this book presents a trans-generational narrative of the influence and role played by diasporic Scots and some of their descendants in the religious and political lives of Dutch/Afrikaner people in British colonial southern Africa. It demonstrates how this Scottish religious culture helped to develop a complicated counter-narrative to what would become the mainstream discourse of Afrikaner Christian nationalism in the early 20th century. Retief Muller provides new perspectives on the ways in which the historical changeover from British Imperial rule to apartheid South Africa was both contradicted and facilitated by the influence and legacies of Scottish religious emissaries, and considers the backlash to the Scots-Afrikaner tradition from the side of Afrikaner Christian nationalist opponents.
