What is protestantism?

This book is the story of man's search for answers to questions that repeat themselves over and over in the hearts of each generation. Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Men of all faiths have tried to answer these questions. The faith that Protestant churches hold in common is presented here. This book offers Protestants the chance to learn more about their own religion. If you are Catholic, Jewish or Orthodox, you may learn more about the faith of your fellow citizens. Included are writings of Anatole France, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Carlyle, Martin Luther, Robert Burns, Matthew Arnold, Stephen Vincent Benét, Benjamin Franklin, Julia Ward Howe, Carl Sandburg, Jane Addams, Walter Russell Bowie, Arthur Lichtenberger, and others.--From publisher description.
