Common Ground: What Protestants and Catholics Can Learn from Each Other

Review An astonishingly honest, lucid, and winsome conversation about what unites and divides Catholics and Protestants. Father Riccardo and Pastor Andrews exemplify the kind of encounter made possible and necessary by the fact that we are, in the words of "Evangelicals and Catholics Together," 'brothers and sisters in Christ.' -- Rev. Richard John Neuhaus Editor in Chief, FIRST THINGS Here is an honest conversation between two deeply committed men of faith, an Evangelical pastor and a Catholic priest, about their shared faith in Jesus Christ. I recommend this resource to all who are interested in Christian unity, in keeping with a prayer of Jesus himself that his disciples be one as he and the Father are one, so that the world may believe. -- Timothy George, Dean Beeson Divinity School Christianity Today, Senior Editor THEOLOGICALLY APPROVED: Fr. Riccardo's explanations of Catholicism are in complete accord with the Church's magisterial teachings on faith and morals. -- Robert Fastiggi Ph.D. Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit. Product Description Since the start of the Reformation 500 years ago, Protestants have been at odds with the Catholic Church. But what precisely are the issues that still divide Protestants and Catholics today? Are there areas of theology and practice where the two traditions are in agreement? Pastor Steve Andrews of Kensington Community Church and Father John Riccardo of St. Anastasia Roman Catholic Church, both located in Troy, Michigan, sat down together to discuss these contentious issues. Pastor Andrews respectfully asks questions concerning Catholic teaching on salvation, the Eucharist, the Virgin Mary, the Saints, prayer, confession, and more. Father Riccardo argues that much of the mistrust of Protestants toward Catholicism is a result of misunderstanding, yet he also openly discusses where the Catholic Church has fallen short and what it can learn from the Protestant tradition. Though the conversation does not resolve the theological disputes at hand, the two ministers show that honest and respectful dialogue is possible. The discussion also reveals a surprising degree of charity and agreement between the two participants.
