Martin Luther: His Faith and His Reform

By Yves Congar

More than ever, as the Christian Church wrestles with issues of relevance and reform, it needs to listen the voices of its giants of faith. For the fifth centenary of Luther's birth, Fr Yves Congar OP-himself an unparalleled Catholic scholar-committed to print the fruits of a lifetime's study of the great reformer's world-changing biblical discoveries. Congar first of all offers a honest interpretation of Luther's journey of faith, leading into an account of his pathway to reform. Comparisons are drawn with the work of reform at the Second Vatican Council, from the perspective of Congar's own involvement. He then proceeds to a searching study of Luther's Christology and his Eucharistic faith, showing how close we are, despite significant differences, especially in the case of the Eucharist. His work concludes with another important essay, clarifying what has been called Luther's 'anguish.'
