Ulster-American religion : episodes in the history of a cultural connection /

Livingstone (geography/intellectual history, Queens Coll., Belfast) and Wells (history, Calvin Coll.) cover a surprising amount of territory in looking not only at the declining influence of Irish and American Presbyterianism but at events within each of these subcultures. They address the philosophy of education, struggles in ecclesiastical control, theological issues, controversies in science and the scriptures, political issues, and religious revivals, giving perspective to the February 14, 1922 "Black Day in Belfast" and illustrating significant parallels and cross-Atlantic Irish ties. This book will be of particular interest to theologians, historians, and sociologists. Recommended for specialized collections.ÄGeorge Westerlund, formerly with Providence P.L. (c) Copyright 2010.
