Synopsis

This companion brings together new contributions from internationally renowned scholars in order to examine the past, present, and future of Protestantism. The volume opens with an investigation into the formation of Protestant identity, looking at its historical development across Europe, North America, Asia, Australasia, and Africa. This section includes coverage of leading Protestant thinkers, such as Luther, Calvin, Schleiermacher, and Barth. The companion then goes on to consider the interaction of Protestantism with different areas of modern life, including the arts, politics, the law, and science. The editors and contributors take seriously the shift in Protestantism from a predominantly North Atlantic perspective to a more global reality. A final section looks to the future of Protestantism, debating what will happen to both Western and non-Western Protestant movements.

Media Reviews
The value of the work lies in the amount of information it contains, and in the readiness of the many writers, coming from many denominations (Anglican and other) to identify themselves as convinced, though self-critical, Protestants. It will be a tonic to those who have got used to hearing 'Protestant' treated as a dirty word. Roger Beckwith, Oxford, Anglican Evangelical Journal for Theology and Mission
