Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses, from a legal perspective, on a series of events which make up some of the principal episodes in the legal history of religion in Ireland: the anti-Catholic penal laws of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century; the shift towards the removal of disabilities from Catholics and dissenters; the dis-establishment of the Church of Ireland; and the place of religion, and the Catholic Church, under the Constitutions of 1922 and 1937.

Rezensionen

"This book brings together deep, insightful, and to my mind, novel historical insights into how religion and law interacted in Ireland in the two hundred years before independence, and in the early period of the Irish state. All the contributions are highly credible historical works that make genuine contributions to historical understanding using legal focus and insight. ... It is a model work of legal history, a great addition to the literature, and very easy to recommend." (David Kenny, Journal of Church and State, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)
