Reclaiming the Reformation

I am proud of being the original publisher of this important book. It was very well received in Sweden, in most branches of the whole universal Church, from Catholics to the neo-charismatics. But most of all, it hit a nerve in the Lutheran churches, reviving our great legacy. The book points to the gospel as the true center of the church, and at the same time, in a very pedagogic matter, explains the nature of the church and what defines her. Not so surprisingly the book has made an impact among non-denominational churches, maybe not only due to its important message but because it is also entertaining. -- Johan Ericson, Libris, CEO
Persson's personal journey reflects the pilgrimage of many as they seek the authentic life that flows from God's Word in Holy Scripture. His encounter with the truly catholic understanding of the Holy Spirit's use of the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is embedded in the theology of Luther, Melanchthon, and their followers, as well as the catholic tradition of the church, informs these pages. Persson calls all Christians back to the center of the faith in trusting Christ, who died and rose for our justification, through his presentation of the Word as it comes to us in oral, written, and sacramental forms. A delightfully faith-deepening conversation awaits readers in these pages.
Through Rev Persson's sharp analysis this rich theological heritage is coming to life for a season marked by confusion and low self-esteem, with a biblical, Christ-centered, sacramental, and Charismatic response. This book has the potential of encouraging wide groups of preachers, evangelists, missionaries, and others to withstand the pressure from more shallow-founded influences, and instead standing on solid ground, building congregations and churches equipped to serve humanity with the saving Gospel of the crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ. -- Rev. Erik Johansson, International Mission Director of the Swedish Evangelical Mission (SEM)
