George H. Tavard

Luther the Reformer

History & Biography

“This book will become a standard 'life of Luther.'”

Mary, Mother of God

“In this polyphonic meditation on the dogma, person, and role of Mary the Theotokos, the mother of Jesus appears in her relation to the church and to all Christians. Eight authors show that it is possible in the Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Baptist traditions to see Mary as a unifying figure who brings their often discordant voices into harmony. This book makes an excellent contribution to the ecumenical dialogue on Christ and his mother.”

The Christian Church

Theology

“The Christian Church will be an invaluable instrument to initiate students to the problems of ecclesiology seen in their historical background. It is well-informed, comprehensive, and ecumenical. While doing justice to the major Christian traditions of the past and present, it is entirely open to the future and the Spirit.”
