"The Unintended Reformation" is a book that provokes thought and challenges established patterns. Brad S. Gregory, with extraordinary erudition and passion, analyzes the long-term effects of the Protestant Reformation up to the present day. His work is not only a critique of the liberal aspects of today's world, but also an attempt to find their origins in the ideological revolution that was the Protestant Reformation.

The author draws attention to the secularization of society, the hyperpluralism of religious and secular beliefs, the triumph of capitalism and its driving force, consumerism, and the view that modern science undermines religious faith. All this, according to Gregory, are unintended consequences of the events of the 16th century, which ended a thousand-year period in history in which Christianity formed the framework for the common intellectual, social and moral life of the West.

Although many may disagree with Gregory's fundamentally pessimistic view of the present or consider his argument to be biased, even from an opposing ideological position, it is impossible not to appreciate the erudition, knowledge and zeal of the author, whose work brings new dynamics to the scientific discourse on the role of Christianity in history. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the roots of the modern world and its challenges.
