Book Description
Our world is obsessed with stories about Protestantism and modernity.Are Protestant societies dynamic, progressive, and free? Or are they godless, Erastian, and libertine? Thinkers and theologians once argued we should rejoice in Protestantism's creation of societies grounded on reason, freedom, and the individual; now, many are quick to pin the blame for modernity's ills squarely on the Reformation. But these are two sides of the same coin, united by a shared assumption: that Protestantism necessitates revolution, and with it the dissolution of religious and metaphysical bonds which once united generations, nations, a continent, the Church, and even heaven and earth.But what if these accounts are wrong? What if Protestantism is more than this, or something different altogether? The burden of this book is to illuminate Protestantism's historic vision of society, culture, and governance, with the aim of applying its rich legacy in our own day. Collecting and expanding essays originally published in the journal "Ad Fontes", this book deals with the issues of church and state, politics and culture, and economics and justice, and proposes that Protestantism's own vision for these things is worth seeing afresh, on its own terms.If you are willing to ask "A Protestant Christendom?", you may be surprised by the answer.

Book Description
While all supported movements for the rights of labor, racial minorities, and women, some endorsed the military-industrial order that established the professional-managerial class as a dominant national force, while others favored a decentralized political economy of worker self-management. At the same time, McCarraher recasts the debate about the "therapeutic ethic" by tracing a shift, not from religion to therapy, but from religious to secular conceptions of selfhood.
