Synopsis

The Irish Church: A Historical and Statistical Review offers a concise, accessible look at the development of Ireland’s church and its ties to state power.

Drawing on historical events, it examines how religious authority and government shaped the Irish establishment from early foundations through later centuries.

This edition surveys the rise of a state church in Ireland, the role of papal and royal authority, and the tensions between local practice and external control. It situates key moments, such as early church organization, royal requests, and statutory changes, within the broader story of Ireland’s religious and political life.

• Learn how the Irish church emerged as a state-backed institution and how its authority interacted with Rome and English rule.
• Explore the sequence of events leading to the church’s formal establishment in 1172 and the policies that followed.
• Understand the historical debates over church governance, independence, and the influence of external power.
• See how later reforms and conflicts influenced the church’s structure and its relation to Irish society.

Ideal for readers seeking a compact, historical overview of Ireland’s church and its long, complex relationship with politics and power.
