JOINT DECLARATION ON THE DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION (1997)
Most LWF member churches favor Joint Declaration (GENEVA, 9 June 1998)
LWF Council unanimously approves Joint Declaration with Roman Catholics (GENEVA, 16 June 1998)
Passing Joint Declaration is big day for Lutherans (GENEVA, 16 June 1998)
LWF keeps to Joint Declaration in spite of Catholic reservations (Geneva, 25 June 1998)
Here also is a page of contents of apologetic & biblical essays in defense of the Catholic view of justification, salvation, & soteriology at the Justification & Salvation Apologetics Index Page. Quite comprehensive and excellent!
