Did the Reformation Ruin Everything? with Michael Lynch

Protestantism gets blamed for a lot of things: rampant individualism, denigration of authority, deviation from tradition, and the disenchantment of the world. But is this the true story of the Reformation? Michael Lynch from the Davenant Institute begs to differ. We talk about the theological and political underpinnings of the Reformation as well as the philosophical shifts in society that affected both Protestants and Catholics. We also talk about the contribution of Protestants to art, music, and aesthetics by looking to the post-Reformation era, specifically the Reformed scholastics. Check out this episode and find out how history is much more complicated than we think.
