A little about me

Christianity's Family Tree - Chapter 3 - Lutheranism (Reading Questions)

This week we will look at the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation and see how Martin Luther was definitely a man of his time.  He was not the only theologian to bring challenges and initiate changes, but certainly made his ideas know is a very splashy way.  Here are some questions to think about as you complete this week's reading.
  1. What led Martin Luther to pursue reforms in the church?  
    • What concepts or practices did he think were leading the church away from God's intentions
    • What concepts or practices did he feel would lead the church and it's people back onto the right path?
  2. How did each of these teachings get lived out in the life of the church and/or the people?
    • Priesthood of All Believers:
    • Sola Scriptura:
    • Justification by Faith:
  3. How do these concepts get reflected in your own faith traditions?
Looking forward to our conversations this week. 

Peace, Deb
