List of Protestant authors

List of Protestant authors

List of Protestant authors is a list of authors who expressed Protestantism in their writing as a religion, culture, or identity. Authors who were Protestant, but rarely expressed this, should not be listed. The list will be divided by denomination.

Note: There is considerable debate on whether Anglicanism is Protestant or not. As it is often classed as a "middle way" between Protestant and Catholic Anglican authors will not be listed. There are different debates on other denominations and these will be dealt with when relevant.
