WOLFF, Elias. Luther's Reformation: An Ecumenical Rereading. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2017, vol.67, n.183, pp.237-268. ISSN 0120-3649.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx67-183.rlrepr.

Luther’s Reformation set up new ways of being Church and of being Christian with implications to Christianity as a whole. Therefore, an ecumenical hermeneutics of Reformation is required, which is practiced here by analyzing the relations between the Catholic and the Lutheran churches, in order to comprehend those aspects of Reformation that may be received nowadays by these two ecclesial traditions according to each one’s specificity. The results show Catholics and Lutherans as coheirs of Luther’s Reformation in what keeps each Church faithful to its origin, Christ, by which they share a common faith and give testimony of the Gospel to the world.
