The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification: An Exposition and a Critique from a Reformed Perspective

Abstract

The Joint Declaration made by the Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches in 1999 stands as a considerable marker on the road towards a common understanding of one of the central questions to have divided the Church at the time of the Reformation. John McPake offers a concise and very valuable guide to the Joint Declaration and places Reformed doctrine in relation to it.
