Publisher's Synopsis
The Scottish Church Question is a historical book written by Adolphus Sydow in 1845. The book explores the religious and political conflict that arose in Scotland in the early 19th century, known as the Scottish Church Question. The conflict centered on the issue of the Church of Scotland being the established church of the country and the role of the state in its governance. Sydow examines the events leading up to the conflict, including the rise of the evangelical movement and the influence of the Free Church of Scotland. He also delves into the political implications of the conflict, including the role of the British government and the impact on the Scottish people. The book provides a detailed analysis of the debates and controversies surrounding the Scottish Church Question, including the Disruption of 1843, which saw a large number of ministers and members leave the Church of Scotland to form the Free Church. Sydow also explores the aftermath of the conflict and its lasting impact on Scottish society and politics. Overall, The Scottish Church Question is a comprehensive study of a significant moment in Scottish history and provides valuable insights into the relationship between religion and politics in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
