+I just finished reading the book “`Luther: finale of the medieval 
+spirituality`_” [Luther - finále středověké zbožnosti] by 
+Jaroslav Vokoun (Karmelitánské nakladatelství, Praha, 2017, ISBN 
+978-80-7195-890-1, in Czech).
+
+The main thesis of the book is relateively simple although rather 
+surprising to many mainstream Protestants: the spirituality of 
+Martin Luther was not so much break from the medieval 
+spirituality but more its continuation. The reason why we have 
+tendency to believe otherwise, is because it is based on the 
+monkish spirituality, a way more practical, medidtative, and 
+pastoral, in the opposition to the scholastic (academic) 
+spirituality which dominated the mainline Church then and it 
+dominates the Roman-Catholic Church until recently. Particularly, 
+the author emphasizes the relationship between Martin Luther and 
+St. Berhnard.
+
+Author then illustrates this point on couple of main topic which 
+covers the rest of the book. There are chapters dealing with the 
+Lord’s Supper, the mass, the general priesthood of all believers, 
+study of Bible and sources of the theology, understanding of Mary 
+generally and her Magnificat specifically. The last couple of 
+chapters are more metahistory of the later development of the 
+relationship between the Roman-Catholic Church and Martin Luther, 
+which started in the lowest possible point until the recent much 
+more open and accepting (including the discussion of the 
+Lutheran-Catholic commission and declarations they were able to 
+sign together, specifically is mentioned the most important of 
+them “`Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification`_\ ”).
+
+I will deal with my review only with two of them: the first and 
+the last.
