A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Note:

If you would like one easy-to-read book that explains what the Protestant Reformation was (and Is!) all about, I recommend Faith Alone: The Evangelical Doctrine of Justification, by the late R.C. Sproul (1939-2017). I provided links below where you can purchase this book. Here are 3 quotations
from Faith Alone:

"Does saving faith require a trust in the righteousness of Christ alone as the grounds of our justification? Or may a person have a different view of the gospel and still be a Christian?" 

"The Reformation was waged, not over the issue of justification by faith, but over the issue of justification by faith alone. It was the Sola of Sola Fide that was the central point of dispute." 

" Agreement between Rome and Evangelicals can be reached in several ways. One is for Evangelicals to abandon their historic position of Sola Fide. A second is for Rome to adopt Sola Fide as its official doctrine. The third is for an agreement to be reached that Sola Fide is not essential to the gospel."
