Pastor John Piper has posted a short quote over at the Desiring God Blog.
For the first time, with the Reformation, there appeared this conception of a grace that saved a man without changing him, of a justice that redeems corrupted nature without restoring it, of a Christ who pardons the sinner for self-inflicted wounds but does not heal them. (The Spirit of Medieval Philosophy, 421)
Piper wisely shows the context and inaccuracy of this statement. Sadly, some today have accepted this bad theology, and caused this Catholic’s criticism to come true.
