Justification and Rome

This study does more than simply restate the respective positions of the Lutheran Church and Roman Catholic Church of the 16th century, it also examines the pertinent materials of our generation on the same issues. Preus clearly explains where Lutherans and Roman Catholics have equivocated and in the process presents a succinct and honest evaluation of the current Roman Catholic doctrine of justification. It also evaluates some of the various efforts of Lutherans and Roman Catholics to reconcile their differences and achieve consensus or "convergence" on the doctrine.
