3.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed, June 20, 2005

By	Thomas Simmons (Fullerton, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The information in this book is a bit on the light side. In dealing with Luther's position on the Roman Catholic Church withholding the cup from the laity the author presents Luther as being doggedly against this and that it was a terrible thing. That is not an accurate view of Luther on this subject. Much more could have been included in this book. I do not recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars broad summary, December 17, 2007

By	T. Brewer "seminarystudent15" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This seems to be the only book out there that broadly summarizes the range of Protestant thought on the sacraments. I thought the issue-by-issue structure was very helpful. It's true that this book is not as comprehensive as it could be, I don't believe that is the goal of the book.

This book is meant to be an introduction to protestant sacramental thought and it more that fulfills that expectation. As a broad evangelical protestant, I was able to read this book and find my own sacramental belief. For that reason, I recommend this book.
