Introduction -- The Transatlantic Background to Fundamentalism -- The Twentieth-Century Reformation : The Gospel of Militant Fundamentalism -- The Theological and Political Background to Ulster Protestantism -- A Fundamental Defense of Ulster Protestantism -- The Crusade Against O'Neill and Ecumenism -- Civil Rights for the Green, the Black, and the Orange -- Paisley, the Elijah of Ulster -- Christian Disobedience in Ulster -- The Genesis of Ulster Amilitant Politics -- The Second Coming : Paisley and the "Civil" Religion of Democratic Unionism.
Summary: This book examines the relationship between the Reverend Ian Paisley and leaders of the militant wing of evangelical fundamentalism in the United States. The author convincingly demonstrates that it was exposure to the ideas and principles of leaders of the Christian right such as Carl McIntire and Billy James Hargis that enabled Paisley to develop a militant brand of politicized religious fundamentalism that he used with remarkable success to block the advance of civil rights for Northern Ireland's Catholic population. -- From publisher's description.
