Description: A good many Protestants have come to feel that the historical reasons for the Reformation have largely disappeared. The author accordingly believes that there is hope for the ecumenical movements, Protestant and Catholic. Signs of this change of thinking include the increasing recognition of tradition rather than reliance on the Bible alone, the revival of monasticism amongst Protestants, and their insistence upon basic doctrinal unity. The author, however, recognizes that some factors militate against unity: the fundamental differences within Protestantism itself and Catholic historical development in doctrine and organization.
Notes: Includes bibliographies.
