Excellent overview of the gap between "us" and "them"

Far too many people on both sides of The Reformation have no idea of why it happened. We have become people of pragmatism, relegating doctrine to the "professionals" - who have taken a cue from "the people" and tossed doctrine aside as well. This book is a very reasonable, well reasoned in depth examination of the doctrinal issues that caused The Reformation - and are still unresolved. There is a section that examines the areas in common between the Roman Catholic Church and Evangelicals, yet keeps the reader aware of the danger that lie beyond. This book is divided into four sections. The last section, "The Road Ahead" is the best part of the book, including chapters by Michael Horton, Kim Riddlebarger, and a former Roman Catholic; each chapter reviews the essential elements of the Christian faith that have been and continue to demand a separation between the Romans and Biblical Christians. This book is a most excellent resource for anyone who wonders about the pope, the Roman church, The Reformation, or Evangelicals. Well documented with end notes so you can check their work. Easy to read, even when discussing deep theological issues.

Exellent work

A very good book about roman catholicism. One of the very few evanglical books including a chapter about modern catholic theology. Worth reading, a must for everyone who is interested in the subject.
