Cultures of Care: Domestic Welfare, Discipline and the Church of
Scotland, c. 1600-1689 explores voluntary networks of charity and
their interaction with the Reformed Church of Scotland. Whereas
most previous histories have assessed the growth of institutional
charity, this book contends that the Reformed Church of Scotland
was heavily reliant on informal, domestic modes of self-help
throughout the seventeenth century. The existence and widespread
acceptance of informal care dramatically changes our understanding
of the impact of the Calvinist Reformation. Local ecclesiastical
and secular leaders did not have a concerted policy to affect or
ameliorate informal networks of care. Reformed authorities were
members of these networks, as well as agents to police them,
collapsing distinctions between informal and formal modes of
Calvinist authority.
