Summary "Theological Essays and Other Papers — Volume 2" by Thomas De Quincey is a collection of essays written in the mid-19th century that delves into theological and ecclesiastical matters, particularly highlighting significant events in the Scottish Church. The opening essay discusses the secession from the Church of Scotland, exploring the tensions and conflicts that emerged over clerical appointments and the historic disagreements between various factions within the church. The beginning of the volume introduces the pivotal events surrounding the schism within the Church of Scotland, specifically focusing on the revolution that began in 1834 when a significant portion of the church sought to change how ministers were appointed. De Quincey articulates the issues that arose over the demand for a new election process for clergy and the implications of such changes. He highlights the complexity of debates surrounding civil versus spiritual power, presenting a detailed examination of the causes and consequences of them, leading to deep fractures within the church structure. The essay aims to inform the English audience about the undercurrents of these developments while framing the broader implications for religious authority and governance in Scotland.
