This is a major assessment of the religious state of Ireland between 1770 and 1850. This book challenges the assumption that religious division in Ireland is inevitable, and suggests that much of the religious intolerance of the last 200 years has been the result of political and religious mistakes made during that earlier period, even though this was an era of reform and reconstruction within all the main religious groupings in Ireland.Features
- Challenges many of the assumptions made about political and religious divisions in Ireland and about the internal condition of the churches there during the pre-Emancipation period
- Takes an ecumenical approach
- Extensive citation of primary sources
- Important sections on church buildings will be of interest to architectural historians
