Theology of the Reformers

The Theology of the Reformers refers to the beliefs and teachings of key figures during the Protestant Reformation, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin. It emphasized salvation through faith alone (sola fide), the authority of Scripture over church tradition (sola scriptura), and the priesthood of all believers. Reformers sought to reform the Catholic Church's practices and doctrines, advocating for a personal relationship with God and direct access to the Bible. Their ideas challenged established norms and significantly shaped modern Christianity, leading to the rise of various Protestant denominations and a focus on individual faith.
