On the 500th anniversary of Luther's theses, a landmark history of
the revolutionary faith that shaped the modern world. "Ryrie writes
that his aim 'is to persuade you that we cannot understand the
modern age without understanding the dynamic history of Protestant
Christianity.' To which I reply: Mission accomplished." -Jon
Meacham, author of American Lion and Thomas Jefferson Five hundred
years ago a stubborn German monk challenged the Pope with a radical
vision of what Christianity could be. The revolution he set in
motion toppled governments, upended social norms and transformed
millions of people's understanding of their relationship with God.
In this dazzling history, Alec Ryrie makes the case that we owe
many of the rights and freedoms we have cause to take for
granted--from free speech to limited government--to our Protestant
roots. Fired up by their faith, Protestants have embarked on
courageous journeys into the unknown like many rebels and refugees
who made their way to our shores. Protestants created America and
defined its special brand of entrepreneurial diligence. Some turned
to their bibles to justify bold acts of political opposition,
others to spurn orthodoxies and insight on their God-given rights.
Above all Protestants have fought for their beliefs, establishing a
tradition of principled opposition and civil disobedience that is
as alive today as it was 500 years ago. In this engrossing and
magisterial work, Alec Ryrie makes the case that whether or not you
are yourself a Protestant, you live in a world shaped by
Protestants.
