The Impact of the Reformation on Modern Christianity

Reformation Day, celebrated on October 31, commemorates Martin Luther's pivotal act in 1517 when he posted the 95 Theses on the Wittenberg Cathedral's door, sparking the Protestant Reformation against the prevailing Catholic traditions. This episode of the Straight Truth Podcast with Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot explores the Reformation's enduring impact, particularly the rediscovery of key gospel truths represented by the five Solas: Sola Scriptura, Sola Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, and Sola Deo Gloria. These principles, emphasizing salvation by grace through faith in Christ and the authority of Scripture, fueled a revival of biblical preaching and a movement for making the Bible accessible to laypeople in their own language, a legacy revered and continued in the Christian faith today.
