Building a Protestant Identity

Catholic, but not Roman. Building a Protestant Identity, by Andrés Messmer, is a revealing work that challenges conventional perceptions about Protestantism and its relationship with Roman Catholicism.

This book offers a compelling analysis and a persuasive argument, making us rethink the division between Protestants and Catholics. Gain a new perspective on your spiritual heritage and discover the true essence of being a Catholic today. This illuminating journey through faith is not just for academics; it is an invitation to all believers for thoughtful dialogue and a deep understanding of our spiritual roots.

Prepare to delve into the heart of the Protestant tradition as Messmer provides:

• A persuasive argument about the Protestant claim to its reformed Catholic identity.
• A deeply rooted examination of the doctrinal differences between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism.
• The exploration of topics such as justification, the canon of the Scriptures, the sacraments, and the role of Mary in the Christian faith.
• A rigorous historical and theological investigation that challenges the notion that Roman Catholicism is the only legitimate expression of Christian catholicity.
• A book divided into three sections: "Catholic," "But not Roman," and "Reformed Catholicity."
• A critical self-examination of modern Protestantism and a call to reformed catholicity.
• An invitation to a deep dialogue between Protestants and Roman Catholics.
• A renewed understanding of Protestant identity, deeply rooted in respect for the Scriptures and the rich historical tradition of the Christian church.
