Was the Reformation a mistake? In its actual historical context, it
hardly seems fair to call the Reformation a "mistake." In 1517, the
Church was in need of a spiritual and theological reform. The
issues raised by Renaissance humanism - and by the profound
corruption of the Church's leaders, the Avignon papacy, and the
Great Schism in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries - lingered
unresolved. What were key theological problems that led to the
Reformation? Theologian Matthew Levering helps readers see these
questions from a Catholic perspective. Surveying nine key themes -
Scripture, Mary, the Eucharist, the Seven Sacraments, monasticism,
justification and merit, purgatory, saints, and papacy - he
examines the positions of Martin Luther and makes a case that the
Catholic position is biblically defensible once one allows for the
variety of biblically warranted modes of interpreting Scripture. At
the same time, Levering makes clear that he cannot "prove" the
Catholic case. The book concludes with a spirited response by "mere
Protestant" theologian Kevin J. Vanhoozer.
