Spectrum of Protestant beliefs

In trying to understand the beliefs of Protestants today it is a more and more serious mistake to divide Protestantism according to denomination. Billy Graham and Bill Hamilton are both Baptists; James Pike and Tom Altizer are both Episcopalians. It is clear that the "Spectrum of Protestant Beliefs" runs according to some other vein. In this book Father Robert Campbell has rightly cut across Protestantism in a different way, and has spokesmen for the major options in Protestant belief speak for themselves on a wide range of topics. The catalogue of attitudes which emerges is a fascinating and sometimes even bewildering one. It is extremely valuable to have this material organized and side by side. In one way it shows the enormous diversity and richness of Protestant belief. In another it shows just how far we have to go in achieving some modicum of unity. -- Harvey Cox, on jacket back.
