Description:

Calvinism, the Reformed Christian tradition that includes Presbyterianism, has had a pivotal role in shaping modern culture. The "Protestant work ethic" laid the foundations for modern capitalism. The "revolution of the saints" of the Puritans promoted a new idea of democratic citizenship. Reformed scientists sought to read the divine order in the "book of nature." The Presbyterian mission to educate the laity led to the creation of many schools and colleges. This course explores the several ways in which the Reformed tradition shaped modern society, including a case study of the history of Centre College .
