Understanding this quote
The sentence claims that serious immersion in history conflicts with remaining Protestant. It presents history as revealing something that changes a person’s religious position, rather than leaving Protestant belief untouched. The wording is deliberately absolute: it treats “being deep in history” and “being a Protestant” as incompatible, though it does not explain what historical discovery creates that conflict.
