{"product_id":"evangelicalism-and-national-identity-in-ulster-1921-1998","title":"Evangelicalism and National Identity in Ulster 1921-1998","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvangelical Protestantism in Ulster is the most influential and historically significant sector of Christianity in Northern Ireland. This innovative and controversial book explores different Evangelical responses to the declining fate of Ulster Unionism during the period from Partition in 1921 to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Focusing on how religious belief has interacted with national identity in a context of political conflict, it eschews a reductionist or\n\u003cbr\u003epurely historical approach to interpreting religion. Rather, using a combination of historical and theological material, Patrick Mitchel offers a critical assessment of how Evangelical identities in Ulster\n\u003cbr\u003ehave embodied the religious beliefs and values to which they subscribe. Evangelical Protestantism is often associated only with the Orange Order and with the controversial figure of Ian Paisley. This book's fresh analysis of a spectrum of Evangelical opinion, including the frequently overlooked moderate Evangelicals, provides a more rounded picture that shows why and how Evangelical Christians in Ulster are deeply divided over politics, national identity, and the current Peace Process. Patrick\n\u003cbr\u003eMitchel concludes with a critical assessment of the political and theological challenges facing different Evangelical identities in the context of identity conflict in Northern Ireland. This is an\n\u003cbr\u003einvaluable guide to understanding both the past and contemporary mindset of Ulster Protestantism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084351729902,"sku":"9780199256150","price":401.58,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199256150.jpg?v=1706218537","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/evangelicalism-and-national-identity-in-ulster-1921-1998","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
