The Irish Protestant Churches in the Twentieth Century [Hardcover]

This book is unique in recording the history of all the Protestant churches in Ireland in the twentieth century, though with particular focus on the two largest - the Presbyterian and the Church of Ireland. It examines the changes and chances in those churches during a turbulent period in Irish history, relating their development to the wider social and political context. Their structures and beliefs are examined, and their influence both in Ireland and overseas is assessed.Preface Introduction The Churches in 1900: An Anatomy The Churches and Politics 1900-1922 The Gospel and Society 1900-1914 Seeing and Believing 1900-1965 Confessional States 1922-1965 A Century at Home and Abroad Changing Times 1960-1975 Towards the New Millennium Endnotes Bibliography IndexAlan Megahey is Chaplain of Uppingham School.
