Description: Argues for a new interpretation of the seventeenth-century Scottish revolution that goes beyond questions about its radicalism, and reconsiders its place within an overarching 'British' narrative. The narrative links the forging of a distinct political and religious culture to the emergence of an autonomous Scottish state.
Review Quotes: "Laura Stewart offers an intelligent and insightful account of a national religious culture within the broader context of the three kingdoms during their mid seventeenth- century crisis." -- Crawford Gribben, Queen's University, Belfast, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
