The church of the eighteenth century was still reeling in the wake
of the huge religious upheavals of the two previous centuries.
Though this was a comparatively quiet period, this book shows that
for the whole period, religion was a major factor in the lives of
virtually everybody living in Britain and Ireland. Yates argues
that the established churches, Anglican in England, Irelandand
Wales, and Presbyterian in Scotland, were an integral part of the
British constitution, an arrangement staunchly defended by
churchmen and politicians alike. The book also argues that,
although there was a close relationship between church and state in
this period, there was also limited recognition of other religions.
This led to Britain becoming a diverse religious society much
earlier than most other parts of Europe. During the same period
competition between different religious groups encouraged
ecclesiastical reforms throughout all the different churches in
Britain.
