Description
Protestants: The Radicals Who Made the Modern World by Alec Ryrie explores the complex and often contradictory history of Protestant Christianity. From its humble beginnings with Martin Luther to its current global presence, this faith has been shaped by individuals who have challenged traditional authority and sought to create new systems of government and social change. These pioneers were driven by a deep sense of conviction and a desire for self-determination, which led them to experiment with novel forms of worship and governance. As they spread their message across the world, Protestants played significant roles in shaping modern politics and society, often finding themselves at odds with established powers. Today, Protestantism continues to evolve and adapt, putting down roots in new regions such as China, Africa, and Latin America. Alec Ryrie's history offers a fascinating insight into this dynamic faith, revealing the ways in which its restless energy has shaped the modern world.
