Beskrivning
On the 500th anniversary of Luther’s rebellion, this spectacular global history traces the revolutionary faith that shaped the modern world. Five hundred years ago Protestant Christianity began with one stubborn monk – today, it includes a billion people across the globe. The upheaval Martin Luther triggered inspired one of the most creative and destructive movements in human history. Protestants is the story of the men and women who made and remade this quarrelsome faith by demanding alarming new freedoms and experimenting in new systems of government. Inspired by their newly accessible Bibles, they transformed their inner lives, a transformation that spilled over into social upheavals and political revolutions. Alec Ryrie’s dazzling history explores how its restless energy made and is still making the modern world.

Recensioner i media

‘A book about Protestants could so easily mirror crude stereotypes. Protestants are supposedly staid, prudish, law-abiding and dull. Ryrie instead exposes their infinite variety — the weird, wicked and wonderful. This is a fun book about people obsessed with sin’ Books of the Year, The Times

    Boken klargör bl a hur stora protestantiska kyrkor i Tyskland går vilse i det nazistiska träsket För oss som lever nu är det oerhört viktigt att veta något om vad som hände så att kyrkor i vår tid inte hakar på nationalistiska och populistiska attityder som utestänger vissa etniska grupper och förvrider det kristna budskapet.
