| Summary: | This study is based on the observation that recent developments in Protestant theology and the church are considered insignificant for the ecumenical cause. This fact reveals a deep rift in the self-interpretation of Protestantism. In his case studies, Ohst attempts to trace the historical developments which led to this rift. He makes a plea for the renewal of an integrative Protestant self-perception based on the understanding of the Reformation as a composite of innovative impulses which cannot be identified with their first theoretical and institutional effects. In the author's view, the historical, in itself diverse shape of Protestantism is constituted by the ongoing effectiveness of these impulses which are influenced and modified by other factors and which in a virtually infinite number of constellations produce the vast variety of the Protestant ways of life and belief. The unity of Protestantism in its diversity becomes apparent in the fact that all of them refer to the Reformation as at least one of their roots. |
