"A scholarly, readable, and intensely interesting history of the
role and influence of the ideas associated with Protestantism. It
explains its origins, development, and political strength at a time
when religion is growing in power and influence, some good and some
dangerous." Tony Benn, author, "Free Radical""
"Provides useful information." "World""
"William Naphy has brought his sweeping command of church history
towards a controversial conclusion: he claims that Protestantism .
. . has never been a Church in the traditional understanding of
that term, but it has, nevertheless, released a positive energy for
change that has had, and continues to have, a profound and dynamic
effect on the human community." Bishop Richard Holloway, author,
"Looking in the Distance""
