Sermons and Battle Hymns Summary

Sermons and Battle Hymns: Protestant Popular Culture in Modern Scotland by Graham Walker

Rangers Football Club, The Sunday Post and the Orange Order are the modern outlets for a Protestantism that in the past has been seen to characterize Lowland Scotland and provide the motivating force behind many of Scotland's most outstanding men and women. This is an academic study of Protestantism's role in Scottish culture. It examines in turn the different institutions and social movements which are considered to be distinctively Scottish and traces the Protestant element in each. The 19th century foundations of Scottish Protestantism, its role in the military and politics, and its association with working class culture are described in detail, and there are chapters on the Orange Order and Protestantism and gender.
