The career of the Revd Ian Paisley raises vital questions about the
links between religion and politics in the modern world. Paisley is
unique in having founded his own church and party and led both to
success, so that he effectively has a veto over political
developments in Northern Ireland. Steve Bruce draws on over 20
years of close acquaintance with Paisley's people to describe and
explain Paisleyism. In this clearly written account, Bruce charts
Paisley's movement from the maverick fringes to the centre of
Ulster politics and discusses in detail the changes in his party
that accompanied its rise. At the heart of this account are vital
questions for modern societies. How can religion and politics mix?
Do different religions produce different sorts of politics? What is
clear is that Paisley's people are not jihadis intent on imposing
their religion on the unGodly. For all that religion plays a vital
part in Paisley's personal political drive and explains some of his
success, he plays by the rules of liberal democracy.
