Abstract: Was Gide a Protestant? Yes, it seems, even when he lost his faith and converted to Communism; even when his support waned and morphed into defiance against all new forms of engagement. One thing remained: a concern with testimony, and the undamaged and eternally elevated figure of Christ. What do lost faith, sarcastic comments about eternal life, and defiance against all dogma matter? The essential is this loyalty and respect maintained regardless of change.
