Protestantism & Protestant Churches; Christian instruction

Higher education was one of the more vital battlegrounds that emerged from the religious conflict of the sixteenth century. On the one hand, education was seen as central in spreading the ideas of the Reformers. On the other hand, the success of the Catholic Reformation emanated from the foundation of seminaries on the Continent. This work explores the denominational division in education with Trinity College Dublin as a case study and with the French Revolution as a backdrop. Because the French Revolution inhibited Catholic educational facilities in Europe, the book explores the extent to which a Protestant institution accommodated Catholic needs domestically. The pattern that emerged in a revolutionary context was to have long-term consequences for higher education in Ireland.

Reviews for And University Education Protestants, Catholics

Once described as 'the most compleat code of persecution that ingenious bigotry ever compiled' (Sir George Macartney, An Account of Ireland) the penal laws against Irish Catholics have been regularly denounced and, be it said defended, since the eighteenth century when they were passed. They have not, however, been systematically studied in terms of their effects, impacts, and enforcement. Thomas Power's book is to be welcomed in that it breaks new ground by offering a scholarly and forensic examination of the educational aspects of the penal laws. --Thomas Bartlett, emeritus professor of history, University of Aberdeen. Thomas Power deploys his exceptional knowledge of the history of Trinity College Dublin and Ireland in the eighteenth century to excellent effect to elucidate an important and overlooked episode in Irish history. Protestants, Catholics, and University Education at once adds to our understanding of Irish high politics, the history of the University, and the repeal of the penal laws against Catholics. --James Kelly, professor of history, Dublin City University
