About the Book
For over 500 years, Protestants and Catholics have often misunderstood one another on the question of justification:
Does the Catholic Church really teach salvation by grace?
In Grace & Justification, Steve Wood—drawing on his evangelical background and Catholic faith—offers a clear, biblical, and charitable explanation of what the Catholic Church actually teaches about grace, faith, works, and salvation.
Rather than arguing, this book invites readers to see justification through the lens of our adoption by God the Father, revealing a deeply Scriptural and hope-filled vision of grace.
You’ll Discover:
-
A simple one-page summary of the seven key differences between Protestant and Catholic views of justification
-
Why Protestants and Catholics so often talk past one another on salvation
-
How Catholics understand Romans and Galatians
-
The role of grace, works, merit, and transformation—clearly explained
-
Insights from C.S. Lewis and modern scholarship
-
Why many media reports on ecumenical documents are misleading
Whether you’re Catholic, evangelical, or simply seeking clarity, this book is written with clarity, charity, and Scripture at the center.
