Letter To The ... Earl Of Aberdeen ... On The Non-intrusion Question

By Archibald Tucker Ritchie

In "Letter To The ... Earl Of Aberdeen ... On The Non-intrusion Question," Archibald Tucker Ritchie addresses a critical issue within the Church of Scotland during the 19th century. This letter delves into the non-intrusion controversy, a significant debate concerning the rights of congregations to reject ministers appointed by patrons. Ritchie's work offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between religious doctrine, political influence, and social dynamics that shaped the ecclesiastical landscape of Scotland.

Addressed directly to the Earl of Aberdeen, a prominent figure in British politics, the letter provides a detailed examination of the arguments surrounding patronage and congregational autonomy. This historical document is essential for understanding the broader context of religious and political reform movements in 19th-century Britain. Scholars of Scottish history, religious studies, and political science will find Ritchie's letter to be a crucial primary source.
