Protestant - Gerry van der List

The Reformation had an enormous influence on world history. Protestant discusses many aspects of the faith that has left such an important mark on the development of Western civilization.

This book contains reports, interviews and reflections from EW with the Protestant philosophy of life at its heart. Many prominent Protestants, such as George Harinck, Henk Binnendijk and Henk Helmantel, are given the floor.

But it also contains portraits of the great men of the Reformation, analyzes of the evolution of Calvinist politics, stories about various churches and denominations and reports of trips to places such as Jerusalem, Wittenberg and Aruba and of visits to Christian sex shops and campsites.

All this in the lively style of an outsider who tries to understand Protestantism with a fresh and sometimes surprised perspective.

Gerry van der List (1961) is a political scientist and has worked for EW since 1999. He writes about spiritual life, culture and politics, among other things.

This paperback has 240 pages, including a personal and business register.
