This book sets out to explore the inner identity of this movement, and its implications for the religious future of humanity. The dangerous idea lying at the heart of Protestantism is that every individual has the right and responsibility to interpret the Bible. Christianity's Dangerous Idea is the first book that attempts to define this core element of Protestantism, and the religious and cultural dynamic that this 'dangerous idea' has unleashed. Its three major sections explore the history of the movement, engage with the distinctive features of Protestant belief and practice, and offer a provocative assessment of Protestantism's global future.
Alister McGrath is Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford University and Senior Research Fellow of Harris Manchester College, Oxford.
