Description

"Orangeism is a culture and belief system wider than the institutional Orange Order, but the influence of the latter is beyond question. Unionism has been shot-through with Orangeism, so much so that it is often described as Orange-unionism. The author argues that the time has come for unionists to take stock. He tells a story and proffers explanations of Orangeism's eighteenth century origins and its developing objectives during the two hundred years of its history. He explores its religious principles, comparing and contrasting these with the standards of Christianity and the Reformed Faith."--Jacket.
