Russia and the Reformation
In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany which began the Protestant Reformation. During the Reformation, five foundational doctrines were developed: Sola Scriptura (by Scripture alone), Sola fide (by faith alone), Sola gratia (by grace alone), Solus Christus (through Christ alone), and Soli Deo gloria (glory to God alone). Along with Martin Luther, the Reformation produced great theologians like Philipp Melanchthon, John Calvin, and John Knox. These facts are readily known. But on today's Footsteps featuring Dr. Evgeny Bakhmutsky, I learned something about the Reformation that I did not know: "Russia is the only European country that did not have direct influence from the European Reformation." What exactly does Dr. Bakhmutsky mean? Listen to today's program!
