Reformation Theology refers to the religious beliefs and practices that emerged during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. This movement sought to reform the Roman Catholic Church and emphasized principles such as sola scriptura (scripture alone) and sola fide (faith alone) for salvation. Key figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin played significant roles in shaping these ideas, advocating for a direct relationship between individuals and God without the need for church intermediaries. Central to Reformation Theology is the belief in the authority of the Bible over church traditions and teachings. It also stresses the importance of grace as a gift from God, rather than something earned through good works. This theological shift led to the formation of various Protestant denominations, each interpreting the core tenets of faith in unique ways while maintaining the foundational principles established during the Reformation.
