"St. Paul and Protestantism, with an Essay on Puritanism and the Church of England" by Matthew Arnold, explores the complex connection between St. Paul's teachings and the core beliefs of Protestantism, with Puritanism as a main focus. The book questions how well Puritan ideas line up with the true meaning of what St. Paul taught. Arnold points out misunderstandings of the Scripture and examines different perspectives within Puritanism, like Calvinism and Arminianism. The author champions a deeper, more accurate interpretation of Christian beliefs based directly on St. Paul's lessons, and how these different interpretations impact the Christian faith and the position of the Church of England within Protestantism.
