Synopsis

Explore how major Christian confessions differ on church authority, practice, and the path of salvation.

This scholarly work surveys Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed positions using a careful, source‑driven approach. It places the church’s role and its relation to Holy Scripture at the heart of doctrinal differences, tracing how each tradition interprets authority, justification, and the church’s mission in this life and the next.

• Learn how the book frames the church as a bridge between divine guidance and human interpretation.
• See how central topics like justification, sanctification, and the sacraments are treated across confessions.
• Understand how historical movements such as the Anabaptists, Quakers, and Remonstrants shaped doctrinal debates.
• Follow the analysis of how authority, tradition, and scripture interact in Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed thought.

Ideal for readers of church history, theology students, and anyone interested in the roots of Protestant-Catholic debates.
