This book provides a comprehensive description of how evangelicals
in Northern Ireland interpreted the "Troubles" (1966-2007) in the
light of how they read the Bible. The rich and diverse landscape of
Northern Irish evangelicalism during the "Troubles" is ideally
suited to this study of both the light and dark sides of
apocalyptic eschatology. Searle demonstrates how the notion of
apocalypse shaped evangelical and fundamentalist interpretations of
the turbulent events that characterized this dark yet fascinating
period in the history of Northern Ireland. 'The Scarlet Woman and
the Red Hand' uses this case study to offer a timely reflection on
some of the most pressing issues in contemporary negotiations
between culture and religion. Given the current resurgence of
religious fundamentalism in the wake of 9/11, together with popular
conceptions of a 'clash of civilizations' and the so-called War on
Terror, this book is not only an engaging academic study; it also
resonates with some of the defining cultural issues of our time.
