The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism
(back in print 2001!)
The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism is a critical yet remarkably sympathetic analysis of the Protestant Reformation by a Lutheran who converted to Catholicism. In the first half he praises the positive principles of the Reformation, showing how they are truly Catholic. In part two he shows how those great principles have been continuously and inevitably undermined among the Reformers (and their heirs) as a result of Protestantism's failure to properly critique and throw off the nominalistic framework of the late medieval period. He clearly explains how the positive principles of the Reformation and Protestantism can only be sustained and flourish within the Catholic Church.
