Foundations of the Reformation
Series: The 5 Solas of the Reformation
October 10, 2021
Ron Burtz
The five Solas—Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christos and Soli Deo Gloria—form the foundational truths of the Protestant Reformation which began 504 years ago in Europe. Over the next five weeks we will be looking at each of them to understand their meaning and importance. Today we read from chapter one of Nate Pickowicz's 2017 book "Why We're Protestant: An Introduction to the Five Solas of the Reformation" to learn the origins of the reformation to which we all are spiritual heirs.
