Abstract

French Protestantism
February 22, 1872 issue

add to cart   close window

Politics are only the outward expression of certain deep and inner forces. It is for this reason that when the political aspect of a country is very perplexing, there is some hope of coining nearer the truth in studying its religious life. It must always seem very extraordinary to an Anglo Saxon witness of French history that Protestantism has ceased to play any part in it. The history of the French Protestants is one of the proof that might can be stronger than right and that even ideas can be successfully destroyed by the sword. Such a confession is painful, but the Protestant idea has been, completely extinguished in France.
