Reviews

Even if the Reformation cannot be praised or blamed for everything that has happened since, it is vital for understanding a great many things. The illuminating essays in this volume will provide both scholars and non-specialists with an excellent and balanced overview of how to understand the ongoing impact of Protestantism in helping to shape the modern world. -George Marsden, author of <em>C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity: A Life</em> Fifteen leading Christian scholars from four continents, several traditions, and several disciplines address questions regarding the on-going significance of the Protestant Reformation and what the observance of its five hundred years should lead fellow believers to think and do with its many legacies. These essays pose questions for the necessary, vital, and lively conversations evoked by this anniversary. They provide stimulating answers and directions for the continuing debate. - Robert Kolb, Professor of Systematic Theology Emeritus, Concordia Seminary
