Critics Review
“Martin Luther and the Council of Trent is a masterful exploration of how scriptural hermeneutics and citations create both doctrinal consensus and doctrinal disagreement.” - Reading Religion
“The ecumenical dialogue needs a thorough study of the ways the Bible was read in the Reformer’s central theological debate on justification, which is precisely what this book offers.” - Heythrop Journal
