Abstract

Indeed, what creates the slight feeling of disappointment may be that this action of Mr David arouses expectations which his very integrity and caution make it impossible for him yet to fulfil. The ecumenically-minded Protestant reads this book with the hope that he will gain some light from it both about how to treat this baffling, ambiguous phenomenon of the modern Roman Catholic Church and about how to promote the cause of reformation in his own Church.
