"This series of lectures will discuss the history, legacy and ongoing significance of the religious tradition which has done more than any other to shape the modern world: Protestant Christianity."

I thought it was pretty evenhanded. As I surmise by your emphasis, there’s an awful lot not to like about the modern world, and it is addressed particularly in the lecture on liberal Protestantism. And although it’s been many years since I’ve read Pelikan’s history, I’d forgotten the role medieval interpretation styles contributed to the Reformation’s strict treatment of biblical text.
