Description - Worship, Civil War and Community, 1638–1660 by Chris R Langley
Based on extensive archival research, Langley’s study examines the interaction between warfare and religion in Civil War-era Scotland. During this time the power of the Kirk was extended from arbiter of morality to enforcer of political obedience, while some clergy also chose to politicize their sermons. Further divisions within communities could be caused or heightened by the presence of a garrison of English occupying troops, with its logistic and financial demands. The information gleaned from parish records allows an insight into the localized effects of war on religious practice. The study will be of value to scholars researching the Civil War and Reformation as well as religious history and warfare more generally.
