- Summary:
- A Catholic reading of Luther the reformer, On the occasion of the five hundredth anniversary of the Reformation, this book attempts to reinterpret Luther's five principles: sola gratia, sola fide, sola Scriptura, solus Christus, and ecclesia semper reformanda. It also considers how grace reaches out to freedom, faith to reason, Scripture to church tradition, Christ to ministry, church to mediation. God's being and action always come first, yet God's first gift, creation, and the mediations that derive from it are not undone or rendered irrelevant. Book jacket.
