Protestant denominations

Protestant denominations are various branches of Christianity that originated from the Reformation in the 16th century, when reformers like Martin Luther sought to address perceived issues in the Catholic Church. Key denominations include Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Anglicans, each with distinct beliefs, practices, and forms of church governance. They generally emphasize faith in Jesus Christ, the authority of the Bible, and the priesthood of all believers, differing from Catholic traditions in their views on sacraments and church hierarchy. Overall, Protestantism is diverse, reflecting a wide range of theological interpretations and worship styles.
