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. + +.. _`Luther: finale of the medieval spirituality`: + https://ikarmel.cz/produkt/luther-finale-stredoveke-zboznosti + +.. _`Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification`: + http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_31101999_cath-luth-joint-declaration_en.html + +https://www.biblicaltraining.org/martin-luther/gordon-isaac + +Martin Luther + +The life and impact of Martin Luther on the Reformation and beyond. +Dr. Gordon Isaac +Gordon Conwell Seminary -- cgit
