The End of Protestantism: Pursuing Unity in a Fragmented Church
The End of Protestantism: Pursuing Unity in a Fragmented Church by Peter J. Leithart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The three stars is an average. There were sections of the book that were much higher, and others that were confusedly lower. My main complaint is that the book doesn’t live up to its name. The exegetical and theological work did not support the claim of the title at all, and the demographic and cultural analysis (quite good in itself) might just as easily have provided someone with the data he needed to argue for our time being the true beginning of a fragmented Protestantism. There were some great sections but the overall effect is what you get when brilliant murkiness is combined with ardent hope.
