Thông tin sách: Evangelical Protestantism in Ulster Society 1740-1890 (Paperback, 286 trang) – Routledge, 2014. Ngôn ngữ: Tiếng Anh.

This major new book represents the first serious study of Irish evangelicalism. The authors examine the social history of popular protestantism in Ulster from the Evangelical Revival in the mid-eighteenth century to the conflicts generated by proposals for Irish Home Rule at the end of the nineteenth century. Many of the central themes of the book are at the forefront of recent work on popular religion including the relationship between religion and national identity, the role of women in popular religion, the causes and consequences of religious revivalism, and the impact of social change on religious experience. The authors draw on a wide range of primary sources from the early eighteenth to the late nineteenth century. In addition, they display an impressive mastery of the wider literature on popular religion in the period. Editorial Reviews Review

`... valuable as a scrupulous and detailed treatment of its particular topic, but also as a wider evocation of the nineteenth century development of evangelical Protestantism in a European and North American Context.' - Theological Book Review
