| Summary: | "The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Modern Ireland provides in-depth analysis of the relationships between religion, society, politics, and everyday life on the island of Ireland from 1800 to the twenty-first century. Taking a chronological and all-island approach, it explores the complex and changing role of religion both before and after partition of the island. It addresses long-standing historical and political debates about religion, identity, and politics, including religion's contributions to division and violence on the island. It also offers perspectives on the relationship of religion with education, the media, law, gender and sexuality, science, literature, and memory; considers how everyday religious practices have intersected with the institutional structures of Catholicism and Protestantism; and analyses the island's increasing religious diversity, including the rise of those with 'no religion'. Written by leading scholars in the field and emerging researchers with new perspectives, the Handbook is authoritative and up-to-date, offering a wide-ranging and comprehensive analysis of the enduring significance of religion on the island." -- |
