Ten Theses on the Lutheran Reformation



Intro: After 500th year, we ought to commemorate instead of celebrate the Lutheran Reformation. This means considering how the reformation was in continuity with the Church, the crisis of the Reformation period, and the continued relevance of the Lutheran reformation.

 

The Lutheran Reformation was Necessary.

-Salvation, Authority, Worship, and Christ were all on the table in Luther’s day.


The Lutheran Reformation was a call for the Church to Repent.

-Repentance is a return.

-Repentance is to rethink.

-Repentance is to reform.


The Lutheran Reformation continues to be Necessary.

-The watchwords of the Reformation are good interpretative lenses.

-The Church still needs reforming.

-The World still needs to hear the Gospel.
