Thérèse and Martin

History & Biography

“This book shows us that Thérèse of Lisieux and Martin Luther have something very important in common: their longing for God’s grace. Bishop Karin Johannesson looks not only at one Carmelite and her contribution to a more profound dialogue between Catholics and Lutherans. She also turns to Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross. . . . This book is a typical fruit of the ecumenical situation in Sweden—but it has a message for Christians everywhere.”
