This amazingly large and heavy tome is also really lovely to look at… and chilling to think about. Translated from the German, it’s titled The Protestantism of the Present, and, from the information we can find online, was published in 1929. Just imagine. Germany. 1929. Before the horrific, awful years to come. We really wish this book could talk and tell us more about its travels, about those who held in their hands through the years.

We included a couple of extra photos so you can see not only how beautiful it is but also how big.
