Service Resources for Focus on the Reformation

FacebookTwitterEmail

Christians around the country celebrate each year on the Sunday nearest to October 31 the Protestant Reformation, a theological movement that restored many biblical doctrines and emphases that had been lost or confused during the Middle Ages. Men like John Huss, Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, Martin Bucer, John Calvin, Thomas Cranmer, and others recovered doctrines like justification by faith alone by grace alone in Christ alone and Sola Scriptura.
