From the foreward- When it appears to many that convergence has occurred between Rome and the Lutheran Church on the meaning of the Gospel, the church needs a candid and competent analysis of the situation. This study does more than simply restate the respective positions of the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church of the 16th century when the polemical and theological context yielded a clarity of doctrinal presentation on both sides. It also examines the pertinent materials of our generation on the same issues when the desire for consensus has led to language designed to obfuscate the doctrinal differences.
