The title of the book repeats the one given to the statement issued in April 1994 by evangelical and Catholic scholars. There was a barrage of criticism and this book is basically the reply. There is a firm refusal to withdraw. Jim Packer even quotes Luther: 'I will not recant'.
The preface by David Alton, MP, is significant is that his brave stance in Parliament on the abortion issue would be endorsed by many who are not Catholics. But they would maintain that agreement and action on a vital social issue does not in any sense involve agreement on the gospel.
