The first book to address the role of correspondence in the study
of religion, Debating the Faith: Religion and Letter Writing in
Great Britain, 1550-1800 shows how letters shaped religious debate
in early-modern and Enlightenment Britain, and discusses the
materiality of the letters as well as questions of form and genre.
Particular attention is paid to the contexts in which letters were
composed, sent, read, distributed, and then destroyed, copied or
printed, in periods of religious tolerance or persecution. The
opening section, 'Protestant identities', examines the importance
of letters in the shaping of British protestantism from the
underground correspondence of Protestant martyrs in the reign of
Mary I to dissident letters after the Act of Toleration.
'Representations of British Catholicism', explores the way English,
Irish and Scottish Catholics, whether in exile or at home, defined
their faith, established epistolary networks, and addressed
political and religious allegiances in the face of adversity. The
last part, 'Religion, science and philosophy', focuses on the
religious content of correspondence between natural scientists and
philosophers.
