In our concluding discussion of the eighteenth century, we will analyze Thomas Kidd's idea of "the Protestant interest" as it relates to North America, Europe, and the globe. (I will also compare this to Luke Clossey's conception of global Jesuits from his recent book.)
Consulting notes from lecture/discussion, and from Spielvogel, read the specified portions from Kidd's book The Protestant Interest here.
Since "revolution" one of this semester's key themes, and since religious history will continue to inform our discussion of Europe's past, Kidd's conceptualization is helpful as we discuss historical context, change over time, and the migration of ideas.
