"Religion Since the Reformation" offers a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the evolution of Christian thought and practice from the 16th century through the early 20th century. Based on the prestigious Bampton Lectures delivered at the University of Oxford in 1922, Leighton Pullan provides a rigorous analysis of the diverse theological and institutional paths taken by faith communities following the Reformation.

The work explores the development of major denominations across Europe and North America, tracing how religious life adapted to the shifting intellectual landscapes of the Enlightenment, the rise of modern science, and the social upheavals of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Pullan examines the internal tensions between traditional orthodoxy and emerging liberal movements, as well as the impact of political changes on the influence of the church.

Presented as a series of eight lectures, this volume serves as a vital historical survey for students of theology and church history. It provides a deep understanding of the historical forces that shaped the modern religious identity, offering a nuanced perspective on the continuity and transformation of the Christian tradition in the modern world.
