Fortunately, I've studied, for example, Milton and the Metaphysicals, Dean Swift and Dr. Johnson, etc.

LOL. Well maybe your time would be better spent reading less Milton and the Metaphysicals and Dr. Johnson, and more of the Bible in order to learn what Protestants believe.

Well it makes as much sense as reading Dante to see what Catholics believe.

I read the Bible to find out what Catholics believe. For Protestant interpretations I have to go to sources. ;-)

Or just skip all that and read Gresham Machen. He's more Calvinist than Calvin!
