| Summary: | Patrick Mitchel is Lecturer in Theology at the Irish Bible Institute, and his study of Evangelicalism in Northern Ireland between 1921 and 1998 is as much a contribution to theology as to history. His ultimate aim is to suggest how Christians, and especially Evangelical Christians, should behave in this intensely political situation. At the heart of the book is a protest against the popular identification of Ian Paisley as the representative figure of ‘Evangelicalism’ in Ulster. The Presbyterian Church in Ireland, Mitchel says, has lost its traditional social and religious dominance and faces a daunting challenge in regaining a distinct, independent identity. |
