First published in 1955, this book was intended to offer a new
interpretation of early Protestantism and, against this background,
a searching treatment of modern religious issues. The Protestant
tradition stems mainly from Luther, Calvin, and the Sectarians.
Luther was the revolutionary genius; because of his acute sense of
paradox his teaching is difficult to understand, but Dr Whale's
summing-up makes it a good deal easier. After him Calvin, with his
remorseless logic, may seem an unsympathetic figure; but here he is
shown in his proper light as the great statesman and doctrinarian
of the young church. The Sectarian movement was steadily gaining
strength in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; Dr
Whale examines its teachings and tells of its later development. He
speaks with conviction and vigour about issues including religious
tolerance and intolerance and the conflict between Church and
State; he closes with a plea for unity the Church.
