4.0 out of 5 stars The root of 'Faith Alone' was a movement called Modernism, oh, sorry, 'Nominalism', February 9, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harvest of Medieval Theology, The: Gabriel Biel and Late Medieval Nominalism (Paperback)
Heiko Oberman is one of the top Lutheran scholars to ever live. His research is impeccable. Yet, one can't get around the fact that he is an apologist for Modernism (nominalism). And this is where his work always falters. Fair enough, one should figure this by the title, but he always gets his sides mixed up - will the real Modernists please stand up? (But you'd have to read another book of his on Luther to fully appreciate that) I also have a sneaking suspicion that this is a veiled rebuttal to Damascene's 'Fount of Knowledge'. If it is, then he should be up front about it. It's a bit of philosophical dishonesty to portray the Modernists as the true Traditionalists without fairly representing someone who is actually from Tradition.
