You Tube Theology

In today’s episode of The Wonder of Wonderful Faith series I’m joined by Professor Alec Ryrie – Alec is Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham university, specialising in the history of the Reformation and of Protestantism more widely. His first book was on the early history of the English Reformation, and since then ranging further into the history of the Protestant tradition in England, Scotland and internationally. Other themes in Alec's work have been the emotional history of religion; religion and politics, war, violence and martyrdom; the history of pious practice and devotion; and histories of religious unorthodoxy, including magic, radical dissent and ‘atheism’. His most recent book is, Unbelievers: An Emotional History of Doubt (2019),
