Gann

A well written thoughtful study of protestant theology that reflects an academic liberal perspective of where the church has been and why it is where it is today. Not for the faint of heart, or narrow conservative believers. It is a balanced presentation of the different expressions of the faith that fairly presents altering views and understandings of the faith proclaimed by Christians.

I'm just now finishing CHRISTIANITY'S DANGEROUS IDEA THE PROTESTANT REVOLUTION by Alister McGrath (which I recommended).

But, I was looking for a book that would go into some detail on the history and later differences between (today's) Protestant denominations in the 20th century.

I SHOULD HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AUTHOR's THEOLOGY FIRST

Instead of a "general history" of later, modern Protestantism ... I found instead that the second half of this book is actually a HISTORY OF LIBERAL PROTESTANTISM, with an emphasis on the viewpoint and writings of liberal theologians in support of social gospel, liberation theology, the "modern" view of the equality of religions, etc.

"Christianity" (who is the person of Christ) is placed on the same politically-correct level of the man-made religions along with the occasional "soft" ridicule of traditional, orthodox, Biblical Christianity -- which is specifically what Jesus advocated and taught -- which happened to include the basic, individual requirement that every Beliver who is accepted by God, must first be Born Again (John 3:3). This was also taught by the early Church Fathers.

This book and its fans have no room for the Jesus of the Bible and His Gospel ... JESUS still says "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

This book provides a competent and clear introduction to the main periods of Protestant Theology. Early chapters deal with Luther and Calvin, then moves through the English Reformation, the formation and development of Liberal Theology, to the directions of recent Protestant Thought. Thus, the book is a presentation of Protestant Christinity that holds to the belief that the nature and meaning of Protestantism can best be understood in light of studying the historical development of the Protestant movement.
Excellent resource for the pastor, theologian, historian or seminary student.
Excellent for the serious lay person, who has some background in Protestant studies. It is clear and understandable, but it is not simplistic.

Every history and/or theology text has a bias--yes, even scripture--and this one is no different. Criticize the text because it is imbalanced, misleading or even factually incorrect, not because the author represents a different worldview.

If you want a general overview from a mainstream perspective, this is a decent text. If you want a proselytizing diatribe, just read the reviews!
