Protestants

The Faith That Made the Modern World   --   In this groundbreaking book, Alec Ryrie makes the case that the world we live in was indelibly shaped by Protestants.  Protestants introduces us to the men and women who defined this quarrelsome faith.  Some turned to their newly accessible Bibles to justify bold acts of political opposition, others to support a new understanding of how they should live.  Protestantism is a religion of progress -- restless, relentless, and combative.  It is also surprisingly flexible.  Its enduring radicalsim comes from its willingness to question every form of authority and tradition, including its own.  Protestants are people who love God and take on the world.
