Reviews and Awards
CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2017
"Protestantism after 500 Years (edited by Thomas Albert Howard, and Mark A. Noll) constitutes an interesting and valuable way to celebrate the 5th century of Reformation, but also to speak about its rich legacy, history and possible developments in the near future." -- Iuliu-Marius Morariu, Astra Salvensis
"The essays are well-written and accessible, though intended for an audience of primarily ministers and professors. The former will benefit by discovering the historical context that produced much of their theology, while the latter will profit by realizing that studying the Reformation has implications beyond scholarship, as it continues to affect the lives of millions of believers around the globe. This book is iteself a worthy commemoration of the quincentenary of the Reformation."--Lutheran Quarterly
"Even if the Reformation cannot be praised or blamed for everything that has happened since, it is vital for understanding a great many things. The illuminating essays in this volume will provide both scholars and non-specialists with an excellent and balanced overview of how to understand the ongoing impact of Protestantism in helping to shape the modern world." -George Marsden, author of C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity: A Life
"Fifteen leading Christian scholars from four continents, several traditions, and several disciplines address questions regarding the on-going significance of the Protestant Reformation and what the observance of its five hundred years should lead fellow believers to think and do with its many legacies. These essays pose questions for the necessary, vital, and lively conversations evoked by this anniversary. They provide stimulating answers and directions for the continuing debate." - Robert Kolb, Professor of Systematic Theology Emeritus, Concordia Seminary
"The volume will provide an excellent and insightful overview of the Reformation s long legacies for the formation of Western modernity and I highly recommend it."--Reading Religion
