Short description:
Scripture Politics examines the central role played by Ulster Presbyterians in the birth of Irish republicanism. Ian McBride restores the United Irishmen to their eighteenth-century social context, restructuring a world where religious doctrine, political theory, and social antagonisms remained inextricably linked. Drawing on a wide range of original sources, he charts the origins and development of a distinctive radical tradition whose contribution to republican ideology has often been misunderstood.
MoreLong description:
Scripture Politics examines the central role played by Ulster Presbyterians in the birth of Irish republicanism. Drawing on recent trends in British and American historiography, as well as a wide range of Irish primary sources, Ian McBride charts the development of Presbyterian politics between the War of American Independence and the rebellion of 1798.
McBride begins by tracing the emergence of a radical sub-culture in the north of Ireland, showing how traditions of religious dissent underpinned oppositional politics. He goes on to explore the impact of American independence in Ulster, and shows how the mobilization of the Volunteers and the reform agitation of the 1780s anticipated the ideology and organization of the United Irish movement. He describes how, in the wake of the French Revolution, Ulster Presbyterians sought to create a new Irish nation in their own image, and reveals the confessional allegiances which shaped the 1798 rebellion. Above all, this innovative and original book uncovers the close relationship between theological disputes and political theory, recreating a distinctive intellectual tradition whose contribution to republican thought has often been misunderstood. _
the best and most detailed study yet on Ulster Presbyterian radicalism ... offers timely warnings against the romantic and idealised versions of 1798 which were offered up in the bicentenary celebrations.
