"Set against the backgrounds of post-revolution Scottish ecclesiastical politics,
this book addresses the hitherto largely neglected religious dimension to the debates
on Anglo-Scottish Union." "Focusing predominantly upon the period between April 1706
and January 1707, the author examines the attitudes and reactions of Presbyterians
to the treaty and challenges many of the widely held assumptions about the role of
the church and other groups during the debate. The focal point of the Kirk's response
was the Commission of the General Assembly. With the extensive use of church records
and other primary sources, the work of the Commission in pursuit of church security
through its debates, committees and addresses, is discussed at length." "The book
also examines the church and such groups as the Cameronians and Hebronites in relation
to the parliamentary debate. It addresses the pursuit of alternatives to incorporation,
popular protest and armed resistance."
