In a church rocked by controversies over vernacular Scripture, iconoclasm, and the power of clergy, men and women arose in protest. Today we call this protest movement the Protestant Reformation. At its heart, the Reformation was a great revival of the church centered on the recovery of biblical truth and the gospel of free grace. This movement continues to instruct and inspire believers even into the present day. Reformation 500 celebrates the Reformation and probes the ways it has shaped our world for the better. With essays from an array of disciplines, this book explores the impact of the Reformation across a wide range of human experience. Literature, education, visual art, culture, politics, music, theology, church life, and Baptist history all provide prisms through which the Reformation legacy is viewed. From Augustine to Zwingli, historical figures like Luther, Calvin, Barth, Bonhoeffer, Rembrandt, Bach, Bunyan, and Wycliffe all find their way into this amazing 500-year story. From Anglicans to Baptists, scientists to poets, Reformation 500 weaves these many historical threads into a modern-day tapestry. - Publisher.

Michael P. Carroll argues that the academic study of religion in the United States continues to be shaped by a "Protestant imagination" that has warped our perception of the American religious experience and its written history and analysis.In this provocative study, Carroll explores a number of historiographical puzzles that emerge from the American Catholic story as it has been understood through the Protestant tradition. Reexamining the experience of Catholicism among Irish immigrants, Italian Americans, Acadians and Cajuns, and Hispanics, Carroll debunks the myths that have informed much of this history.Shedding new light on lived religion in America, Carroll moves an entire academic field in new, exciting directions and challenges his fellow scholars to open their minds and eyes to develop fresh interpretations of American religious history.

Face à la naissance du protestantisme au xvie siècle, l'Église catholique a développé deux stratégies : la lutte contre la Réforme ; la transformation du catholicisme. Une institution semble résumer ces deux politiques : la Compagnie de Jésus, qui mène des missions contre les protestants, participe à des controverses, créé des collèges pour former l'élite catholique ... Mais placer « protestants » et « jésuites » dans un affrontement systématique est un des a priori de l'historiographie qui a été mis en place dès le xvie siècle. Mais, bien qu'elle ait été régulièrement reprise et développée, cette opposition est en grande partie fausse, et d'abord parce que l'objectif premier de la Compagnie de Jésus n'est pas la lutte contre le protestantisme, mais la rénovation de l'Église grâce à une nouvelle spiritualité, une spiritualité d'ailleurs en partie commune à Luther et aux réformateurs protestants, ce que les historiens et les théologiens redécouvrent depuis quelques dizaines d'années.
