This collection of essays gives a picture of Protestant Evangelicals in their Irish manifestation. It is written mainly to inform and describe. The book opens a window on a community often misunderstood and frequently maligned. It confronts the pain and isolation of a substantial religious community while noting its strength and vibrancy. It portrays the bonding instincts of what was often a hidden people. It deals frankly with weakness and inconsistencies and it attempts to describe a diverse and often divided community eager to be truer to Christ and faithful to the Gospel. Robert Dunlop has been a Baptist minister in Ireland for forty-three years.
