520 1 $a"This book makes an original contribution to the
study of modern Northern Ireland by examining the complex
relationships among religion, literature and ethnicity since
1967. Patrick Grant focuses on a contradiction within
sectarianism between the Christian injunction to love one's
enemies, and the scapegoating, stereotyping and mirror
oppositions that result from an annexation of religion to
ethnic exclusivism. In general, a 'post-critical' view of
religion is offered, welcoming the critique provided by
secularism and maintaining that the varieties of imagination
- whether literary or religious - can be liberative and
mutually supporting."--BOOK JACKET.
