Pelikan on the Reformed Tradition
“… it was alien to the Reformed way of teaching to draw ontological parallels between the Eucharist and the incarnation [in contrast to the Lutherans]… . it was a characteristic of Reformed theologians, and [one] not sufficiently grasped by Lutheran polemics, that in their attempts to specify just what the Reformed churches did teach about the Lord’s Supper and how this differed from what other churches taught, they would recur to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.”
— J. Pelikan, Reformation of Church and Dogma (1300-1700), 202.
