Opis

This study examines the complex religious and intellectual life of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland between 1830 and 1930. It considers the Church's response to the numerous challenges of modernity and the continued importance of conservative Protestantism in modern Northern Ireland.

Recenzje

The Irish Presbyterian Mind is nevertheless a significant contribution to our understanding of the making of modern Ireland, and especially of Ulster. It is a major achievement, that Holmes has completed despite the (surprising) paucity of manuscript sources and the inaccessibility of the some of the records (including much of the Davey Collection, which is important for 20th-century developments and post-Partition attitudes to social and economic - as well as theological - issues).
