John Nelson Darby is best known as the architect of the most influential system of end-times thinking among the world's half-a-billion evangelicals. This book re-examines Darby's thought and argues that claims that Darby is the father of dispensationalism may need to be revised.

This book provides a focus for future discussion in one of the most important debates within historical theology within the protestant tradition - the debate about the definition of a category of analysis that operates over five centuries of religious faith and practice and in a globalising religion.

By adopting an international perspective, this volume features essays that look at the motives, methods and impact of enforcing the Protestant Reformation in Ireland and Scotland. It offers an insight into how the political authorities in Scotland and Ireland attempted, with varying degrees of success, to impose Protestantism on their countries.
