This book is the first detailed discussion of the political history
of the Scottish Church in the reign of James VI (1567-1625). It
offers a refreshing new perspective on the Reformed Kirk during the
crucial period in its development. It is an examination of
relations between Kirk and State based firmly on contemporary
sources. Analysing the formation and evolution of clerical views,
it argues for fluid patterns of opinion governed by events rather
than fixed ideologies. As a result, it rejects the established
notion of 'Melvillian' and 'Episcopalian' parties in the Kirk.
Pivoting on the regal union of 1603, it explores the Scottish
experience of the implementation of ecclesiastical policies under a
multi-state monarchy in the light of recent British scholarship. It
also assesses the significance of the regal union for the
government of Scotland, for the status of the Kirk within Scotland
and in relation to the Church of England. The result is a
significant and challenging contribution to early modern Scottish
and British historiography.
