Read an excerpt below


Is there any serious difference between the doctrine of justification in the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church? The Agreed Statement of the Second Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC II) ‘Salvation and the Church’ (1987) concluded that this was “no longer an area where any remaining differences of theological interpretation of ecclesiological emphasis either within or between our Communions could justify our separation”(§32).

McGrath examines the Statement beginning first with the importance of the Reformation and at the Council of Trent, and then more recent debates on justification within the Anglican Communion and the ecumenical world. McGrath then takes a detailed look at the Statement itself, its format, scope, use of Scripture, and implications.

Excerpt:

“If this study should seem polemical or critical at points, it is because we have felt able to dispense with the trappings of ecclesiastical diplomacy in order to concentrate upon the theological issues at stake …. This is no attempt to sabotage any agreement — simply a plea for theological; and scholarly honesty and integrity, in order to establish how much agreement there really is in the first place. …. In this section, the writer approaches the Statement from an evangelical Anglican perspective …. It is thus hoped that this will allow ARCIC II to treat this study as embodying ‘observations and criticisms made in a constructive and fraternal spirit, while indicating to evangelical Anglicans where clarification and criticism is appropriate”. — Intro.
