Reformed scholar Dr. Robert Reymond carefully compares the various differences between Reformed and Roman Catholic theology in this very instructive work. His conclusion, as indicated by the subtitle 'Why It Must Continue,' is that the conflicts are deep and unbridgeable. Further, that efforts toward evangelistic co-operation with Rome, so popular of late, are misguided and wrong from both perspectives.

Drawing upon the history and writings of churchmen of all ages, Dr. Reymond shows the growth of error that resulted in Trent and how that error has only broadened in the centuries since. He respectfully examines the writings of Church Fathers and compares them with Holy Scripture. Where divines or councils deviate from the Written Word of God, their positions are in error.

The differences between our communions are substantial and cannot be glossed over without doing violence to doctrine on both sides. Originally taught as Sunday School lessons, this little book is worthy of careful and prayerful study by people on both sides of the issue.
