What traces did Protestantism leave behind in contact with other confessions and religions? How has it changed itself through these encounters - and not least: How have people with very different cultural backgrounds adapted, formed and experienced the Protestant teachings? On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation, the exhibition catalogue of the Deutsches Historisches Museum invites you on a time journey through five centuries and across four continents. The richly illustrated volume bears witness to the global diversity of Protestantism, but also to the potential for conflict inherent in it. Beginning with the reformations of the 16th century, the caralogue relates the world-spanning history of Protestantism´s effect and counter-effect, which stretches into the present day - seen above all in the examples of Germany, Sweden, the USA, Korea and Tanzania.
