National Identity and the Appeal of Nationalism
The functions and structure of a modern nationalist ideology are revealed through analysis of its national identity. Six components of national identity are explored; the ‘search for belonging’; public legitimization in the world of nations; myth; culture; emotion and territory; and symbols and rituals. A further section analyses the behaviour of national identities in a context of political conflict. The issue of what is an appropriate relations…

Generating Distance?: The Changing Identity of Irish Presbyterianism
How the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) has interacted with unionism since Partition is investigated in two stages. Analysis of the Church’s relationship with Orangeism; Presbyterian national identity; and PCI attitudes to the Northern Irish state from 1921 to 1972 reveal a denomination ‘at ease in Zion’, spiritually supportive of unionism and Orangeism. In contrast, evidence from 1972 to 1998 points to an identity shift towards a more open …
A Balancing Act: The Evangelicals of Econi
Conclusion
In a context of continuing nationalist conflict in a post-Good Friday Agreement (GFA) era, a challenge for Ulster evangelicals is how can they live up to their calling to be ‘Bible people’ and ‘Gospel people’. This will entail achieving a healthy balance of ‘distance’ and ‘belonging’ at three levels—political, theological, and relational. At each level, a stark dichotomy is evident between ‘closed’ and ‘open’ evangelicalism. The main reason for t…
Gospel Truth: Describing Evangelicalism
Discusses the nature and content of evangelical Christianity and the problems associated with defining what is a variegated movement loosely organized around a theological core. Given Ian Paisley’s fundamentalist associations, particular attention is paid to unpacking the relationship between evangelicalism and fundamentalism. It is argued that they represent two overlapping but distinct forms of belief within a spectrum of conservative Christian…

‘Ourselves Alone’: Paisleyism and the Politics of Purity
The distinctive characteristics of Paisleyism are identified, accompanied by discussion of how Paisleyite ideology interacts with nationalism. Contrary to influential interpreters such as Steve Bruce, and taking into account Paisleyism’s strong fundamentalist associations, it is argued that Paisleyism’s primary appeal derives from the emotional power of a mythological nationalist narrative organized around a theological core of deeply held evange…
Evangelicalism and National Identity in Ulster, 1921-1998
Evangelicalism and National Identity in Ulster, 1921-1998
Examines the interaction between nationalism and evangelical Protestantism, the most influential and historically significant sector of Christianity in Ulster. Different evangelical responses to the declining fate of Ulster unionism are explored and compared during the period from Partition in 1921 and the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. While taking into account how religious belief can ‘fall into the abyss of idolatry’ by spiritually legitimating a…
