Martin Luther

Focusing on the potential for unity within Christianity, Atkinson argues for a completion of Martin Luther's Reformation work rather than a divisive celebration of his break from the Catholic Church. He highlights the significant theological changes in Catholicism since the sixteenth century and the ecumenical spirit fostered by the Second Vatican Council. The book offers a historical overview of Catholic views on Luther and examines key doctrinal differences, suggesting that reconciliation between Catholics and Protestants is now more achievable than ever.
