What is the Reformation? What role did the Scriptures translated into the language of the people, play in this timeframe? A good deal prior to Martin Luther, we see John Wycliffe, an English theologian in the 1300s known best for his role in translating the Bible into the common language. Later Martin Luther was a German priest, theologian, author, hymnwriter, professor, and Augustinian friar. He was the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, and his theological beliefs form the basis of Lutheranism. Luther was ordained to the priesthood in 1507. Historians usually date the start of the Protestant Reformation to the 1517 publication of Martin Luther's �95 Theses.� Our guest today points out some salient features of the Reformation. A Biblical understanding of holiness was evident during this important time. People learned to serve God in every area of life. Our guest points out the Five solas: sola scriptura (Scripture alone), solus Christus (Christ alone), sola fide (faith alone), sola gratia (grace alone), and soli Deo gloria (glory to God alone).
