[QUOTE="An0dyne, post: 1569591, member: 16846"] Does this book address the non-radical Reformation at all? I don't see any content here addressing it, really. That is to say, the OG Evangelical (i.e., Orthodox Lutheran) Church. Also, just a point on 40,000+ denominations--one can really divide all of protestantism into 3 main strands: Lutheran, Reformed, and Anabaptist. Then there's Anglicanism, which started as Lutheran but ended up coming under Reformed influences after the reign of Mary Tudor drove many of the English Reformers to exile in Geneva. Anglicanism and its descendent denominations, including Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists/Puritans, etc., are particularly influential in America and around the world due to the spread of the British Empire at this influential time in history. This makes it seem like there are many denominations, but they're really all ideological offshoots of the same philosophies with varying degrees of differences. It seems disingenuous to say this kind of disagreement does not exist in Catholicism or Orthodoxy. There are "Pentecostal Catholics." There is the GOARCH and ROCOR. Etc. The latter, for example, has a much wider discrepancy than, say, Wisconsin vs. Missouri Synod Lutheranism. Just my two cents--not intended as a debate! [/QUOTE]
