'The Reformation, inwardly considered, was just the ultimate triumph of Augustine's doctrine of grace over Augustine's doctrine of the church'. Quite. This is what happens with thinkers with a legacy so enormous: it fissures, such that widely differing schools can both validly claim them as forebears.
