Summary/Abstract: Radical Orthodoxy (ecumenical, supra-denominational) emphasizes its presence in contemporary academic Western theology; its core are Anglican theologians. The main direction of Radical Orthodoxy is a severe criticism of modernity and its inherent manifestations (secularism, the enlightenment paradigm, cultural nihilism, scientism and capitalism). It is also important to reflect on the effects of the Reformation and the place of Protestantism in contemporary Christianity. The Reformation is understood as one of the most important historical facts in Western civilization – an integral element of the set of phenomena initiating modernity. The article aims to discuss the views of the Radical Orthodoxy School regarding Protestantism as well as theological, cultural and social consequences of the Reformation. Theologians of this movement assume that scholasticism and Protestantism constitute a theological continuity, as evidenced by the common area of theological inquiry observed among leaders of scholastic theology and the fathers of the Reformation.
