A guide to Catholic–Protestant differences and common ground

Gregg Allison’s book examines the history and ongoing divisions between Catholicism and Protestantism, pairing that context with a comparison of their beliefs and practices. Its subject areas include Scripture, tradition and interpretation; the image of God, sin and Mary; the church and sacraments; and salvation. The structure makes the book a focused introduction to areas of agreement and disagreement between the two traditions, with attention to both theological questions and their social dimensions. The discussion is framed around whether the Reformation’s divisions remain unresolved and how Christians can discuss them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an introduction to Catholic and Protestant theology and practice.
  • People preparing for informed conversations across Catholic–Protestant differences.
  • Readers interested in Christian history and denominational divisions.

Book overview

The Unfinished Reformation offers a thoughtful look at the key theological and sociological differences between Catholicism and Protestantism.

In 1517 a Catholic monk nailed a list of grievances on the door of a church in Germany and launched a revolution in the history of Christianity. That monk was Martin Luther, and the revolution was the Protestant Reformation. What followed this upheaval was flexibility and innovation in the church but also religious instability and division, particularly among the Catholic and Protestant fault line. Five hundred years later, there continues to be unresolved issues between the Protestant and Catholic churches. So, Gregg Allison and Chris Castaldo ask... is the Reformation really finished?

The Unfinished Reformation is a brief and clear guide to the key points of unity and divergence between the two largest branches of Christianity. Fundamental differences in doctrine and practice are addressed in detail:

  • Scripture, Tradition, and Interpretation
  • Image of God, Sin, and Mary
  • Church and Sacraments
  • Salvation

Written in an accessible and informative style, The Unfinished Reformation provokes thought about Christian beliefs, equips you for healthy conversations with those on "the other side of the divide", and encourages fruitful discussion about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
