Link: Is the Reformation Over? - Books & Culture.
Though the authors mention Orthodoxy (as in "Eastern Orthodoxy") only once or twice, the reasons for leaving Evangelicalism and entering the Great Church (whether Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic) are trenchantly described. Despite the well-meaning nostalgia of folk like R. C. Sproul, and rescuscitative attempts like ECT, and mean-spirited flames like Chick Books, the title (and essay) insinuate an unsettling answer.
Of course it's over. The Reformation was over as soon as it became schismatic. The only unity that bound the Reformers together was their common origin and continued, implicit fellowship with the Catholic Church of East and West.
