The Revolution of 1688-90 was accompanied in Scotland by a Church Settlement which dismantled the Episcopalian governance of the church. Clergy were ousted and liturgical traditions were replaced by the new Presbyterian order. As Episcopalians, non-jurors and Catholics were side-lined under the new regime, they drew on their different confessional and liturgical inheritances, pre- and post-Reformation, to respond to ecclesiastical change and inform their support of the movement to restore the Stuarts. In so doing, they had a profound effect on the ways in which worship was conducted and considered in Britain and beyond.

These chapters offer a convincing reassessment of the relationship between faith and political allegiance, one which also accounts for the key role that liturgy played in Scottish religious culture [...] this edited collection is a remarkable and noteworthy contribution to how we think about political and religious allegiance, including the significant role that liturgy played in Scottish political life. -- Karie Schultz, University of St Andrews * British Catholic History *
A splendidly detailed collection which takes us beyond secular and sectarian history to demonstrate the intimate relationship between liturgy and ideology in early modern Scotland. A real advance in scholarship: next stop a Scottish version of Alexandra Walsham’s Church Papists, please. * Murray Pittock, University of Glasgow *
This is a useful book that offers something for historians and theologians. It provides useful signposts for future research on the liturgy and adds to existing scholarship on religious culture in early modern Scotland. [...] The book offers strong insights on the liturgy that previous works have not touched upon. -- Ben Rogers, University College Dublin * Northern Scotland *
This collection of essays will prove valuable for anyone seeking to understand more fully the complex development of worship beyond the more familiar presbyterian contexts in seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Scotland, and the developing Catholic and Episcopalian traditions especially as they relate to the Jacobite movement. -- John McCallum, Nottingham Trent University * Scottish Historical Review *
