En 1520, Martin Luther brûle la bulle lui signifiant son excommunication. Par ce geste, sa contestation menée jusqu'alors à l'intérieur de l'Église catholique se mue en protestation hors d'elle. Dans les années qui suivent, des mouvements de réforme deviennent la Réforme, la Réforme se transforme en protestantisme, la rupture en organisations et institutions, la protestation en pouvoirs, l'hérésie en nouvelles orthodoxies. Aujourd'hui, l'expansion de cet ensemble confessionnel dans le monde entier et, en particulier, la vitalité du mouvement évangélique contrastent avec les difficultés que le protestantisme rencontre dans un Occident de plus en plus sécularisé. En retraçant l'histoire du protestantisme, cet ouvrage interroge son rapport à une modernité qu'il a contribué à faire émerger et qui est à présent en crise.

Perhaps no conventional wisdom is more common and enduring in Western societies, especially America, than that of Protestant Puritanism as the source of modern liberty and democracy. "Puritans" may have become an extinct or endangered species in the original sense by the early 21st century, but continue to be honored as both the creators and the destiny of these societies, primarily America and secondarily Great Britain. "Puritans are dead as a name, long live Puritans as a concept and legacy"--that is how Puritanism can be described in America at the threshold of the third millennium. This book critically reexamines the link of Puritanism and liberty in historical and comparative perspective. The book exposes "Puritanism and liberty" as a cherished myth or "sweet lie", suggesting that the Puritan "emperor has no cloths", in historically Protestant societies, particularly America. It shows that "Puritanism and liberty" turns out to be the exact opposite, enduringly in America and temporarily in Great Britain. If Puritanism is as American as the apple pie, then it is the "apple pie" of authoritarianism and theocracy rather than of liberty and democracy.
