Why is the Reformation relevant today? Providing an explanation of the issues that led to Luther's posting of the 95 Theses and their lasting implications for the Church and the world, Martin Marty explores the concept of repentance as a central theme of Luther's writings. Jesuit James Martin contributes a very amicable foreword to this meditation on the deeper meaning of the schism, and Luther's Theses are included in the appendix.
"This pithy book offers valuable insight on how Luther can help Christians today understand what it means to be a member of a truly 'catholic' church."—Kathleen Norris
