This book, first published in 1974, shows how social class and
origins in mid-nineteenth century Aberdeen were reflected in
religious belief and observance, and how in turn this acted as a
catalyst for change in society. Through a detailed analysis of this
topic, particularly in relation to the Presbyterian denominations,
the author directs fresh light on the emergence and development of
the Free Church. The Disruption in the Church of Scotland is
examined within the context of changes which had taken place in the
form of industrial production, whereby the city as a centre of
manufacturing had replaced the domestic production of the
countryside. The concomitant changes in the social structure, and
the divisions which resulted within the old ruling families, are
probed. The social patterns of adherence to the Established and
Free Churches are analysed in detail, and the subsequent
development of the Free Church is examined in terms of the social
support it enjoyed in 1843.
