A Global History of Italian Protestantism

A Global History of Italian Protestantism presents the first comprehensive English account of Italian Protestantism, spanning from the 12th century to the present day. Edited by leading historians, it challenges the traditional Anglo-German perspective on Protestant history, offering a fresh interpretation through a southern European and global lens.

Volume 1 explores the pre-Reformation roots of Italian Protestantism and its influence on Calvinist and broader Protestant traditions.

Volume 2 delves into its role in major historical events and global movements from the post-Napoleonic era onwards. Key themes include theological innovation, exile, Italian liberalism, nationalism, Pentecostalism, and transatlantic revivalism.

With over 80% of its content translated from cutting-edge Italian scholarship, this landmark work makes a wealth of pioneering research accessible to English-speaking audiences for the first time.".
