The End of
Protestantism Pursuing Unity in a Fragmented Church by Peter Leithart is a
deep look into the history and origins of Protestantism in the world and in
America. Mr. Leithart lays out a plan to reunite all churches and Christians in
one church as Jesus prayed for in John 17:21. He suggests church reforms which
are more biblically based than in tradition. His plan, Reformational
Catholicism, had four movements or points. First, a vision for a reformational
catholic church which expresses a biblical and a reformational paradigm for
evangelical unity. Second, he argues the pros and cons of denominational
Christianity. Third, he presents evidence that the divided church is
dissolving. Finally, his plan for a united church and the demolishment of
denominational identity.
The End of
Protestantism is an interesting historical and modern evaluation of the
function of the Church. While I didn’t agree with all of Mr. Leithart’s
assertions, he does present great insights into the church and how Christians
can move forward in an ever-changing world. If you are interested in a brief
history of the church, how it has functioned and a plan for its survival, I
recommend The End of Protestantism.
