Luther and His Progeny: 500 Years of Protestantism and Its Consequences for Church, State, and Society, edited by John C. Rao This will be interesting…. With this post, I begin my exploration of this book edited by Rao.  The title is self-explanatory. My intent is not to get into the theology, but to examine the impact on society and what this meant (and means) for the growth of the state. Of course, I recognize that I cannot publicly conduct this examination without theological blowback; do not be offended if I do not reply to any such comments. I will also suggest: as … Continue reading
