The question of the justification of sinners is one of the most complex regions of
Christian theology. The Regensburg article on justification proposed a solution that
it was hoped would be acceptable to both sides, Protestant and Catholic. In 1541 at
the Regensburg Colloquy, three leading Protestant theologians (Melanchthon, Bucer,
and Pistorius) and three leading Catholic theologians (Eck, Gropper, and Pflug) debated
with the aim of producing a commonly agreed statement of belief. The colloquy as a
whole eventually failed, but it had begun with a statement on justification by faith
agreed by all the parties, 'Article 5," leading to an initial burst of optimism. But
from the beginning, there were two contrasting reactions to Article 5. Some, like
Calvin, maintained that it contained the substance of true doctrine; others, like
Luther, called it an inconsistent patchwork. Both rival assessments have continued
over the centuries. The aim of this book is to decide between them. It does so primarily
by viewing the article in the light of the publications of the colloquy's key participants
and observers, and by comparing it with the Tridentine Catholic Decree on Justification.
It also views it in the light of the four known earlier drafts of the article, all
of which are included in an Appendix, together with translations of three of them.
The book concludes that Article 5 is indeed consistent with a Protestant understanding
of justification, though it does not always follow Protestant terminology. Agreement
was possible because Gropper and Pflug, together with Cardinal Contarini, the papal
legate, largely accepted the Protestant account of justification--From publisher's
