Protestantism
Alec Ryrie's new project Constructing Conversion aims to reconceive the history of Protestant mission, one of the modern era’s most consequential sites of intercultural encounter; and, with it, the history of the emergence of global modernity.
Ryrie is Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University and Professor of Divinity at Gresham College, London. He is a historian of Protestantism in and beyond the early modern world, and his books include The Age of Reformation (2008, 2017), Being Protestant in Reformation Britain (2013), Protestants (2017), Unbelievers: An Emotional History of Doubt (2019) and The English Reformation (2020).
