FIRST THINGS will launch a newsletter about Protestantism next Tuesday, February 10. ([link removed]) The Protestant Mind is about the intellectual movements that have driven and still drive the continual reformation of American Christianity. Dale M. Coulter, a frequent contributor to First Things and professor of historical theology at Pentecostal Theological Seminary, is the author.

Coulter will draw on his Pentecostal Christianity and training in medieval theology to delve into the complex and energetic strains of Protestant thought that have intertwined, separated, and come back together to form the Protestant movement.

He writes, “Protestantism is a movement. Neither the stature of Luther, nor the political power of Protestant princes could hold the reformers together in a single church. ‘Twas ever thus. Nowhere is this view of Protestantism more apparent than in the American experiment, in which protest and reform remained at the center. One of the challenges of American Protestantism is to see the whole movement all at once. And yet that is the point of this newsletter.”

Outsiders often flatten American Protestantism into stereotypes. Coulter will move beyond preconceptions to explain the effects of thinkers such as Louis Berkhof, Karl Barth, and Reinhold Niebuhr, or how prophetic protest formed America’s moral understanding of itself. His insights will be delivered straight to your inbox, free of charge and free of ads, every two weeks.
