A brief explanation of the five solas of Protestantism.

There is a Catholic understanding of justification just as there is a Protestant view. These two perspectives are mutually exclusive. 

Organisers of ‘Together for Europe 2016’ in Munich believe “500 years of division is enough, unity is possible”. Pope Francis and Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I supported the meeting.

The week-long course was made up of twenty-one sessions which were delivered by Leonardo De Chirico, Gregg Allison, Greg Pritchard and Mike Reeves. “This week has been something of a dream come true.”

In Wittenberg, the German President highlighted the importance of Luther’s Bible translation and spoke of how the “priesthood of all believers” brought sense of individual freedom.

Was Tony Palmer right when he declared that Luther’s protest is over?

Italian pastor Giovanni Traettino believes “the Word of God is moving and acting in the Catholic Church.” The Pentecostal leader encourages other churches to have an “open” approach to the Vatican. “Pope Francis is my brother in Christ”, he says in an interview with Evangelical Focus.

Aim is “to express the gifts of the Reformation and ask forgiveness for division perpetuated by the two traditions.” “It doesn’t make any sense”, says President of the Theology Comission of the Spanish Evangelical Alliance, Jose Hutter.

Any accommodation to the idea that we are ultimately capable of saving ourselves, any accommodation to the fact that salvation is not God’s gift from beginning to end is a slippery slope towards a false gospel.

Should we talk about the ‘Protestant Reformation’ or the ‘Protestant Reformations’?

A closer look at Philip Melanchthon, Matthias Flacius, Martin Bucer, John Knox and William Farel.

Catholic and Lutheran leaders will commemorate the Protestant Reformation in Lund, Sweden, on October 31. “Risk of elevating unity to the absolute principle”, evangelical Vatican expert warns.

There is the risk of elevating “unity” to the absolute principle, a little “god” claiming pre-eminence. It takes courage to make unity dependent on the Biblical truths and not elevating it to the place of “first imperative”.

“The righteous shall live by faith.” It represents the ultimate summary of the Reformation, as well as a synthesis of the Bible.

The opening night filled a stadium in Dortmund (Germany). A 3,200-strong choir is key of the musical written by prominent musical producers. 

Authors José de Segovia and Pablo Martínez presented the message of the Gospel to the audience. Other cities also commemorate Reformation with different events.

Evangelical Focus will be the liaison between Spain and the different European events that will also happen throughout Europe.

“Evangelicalism desperately needs a revival of robust Reformed theology that is thoroughly biblical, helpfully doctrinal, warmly experiential, and pointedly practical”, says the President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary.

It is assumed that the piece was stolen. The book found in Germany is one of the 60 copies produced by the Stern'schen Druckerei print after 1614. 

Spanish evangelical churches and entities ask the national Post Office to create a stamp commemorating the “Bible of the Bear”.

The Mayor of Rome, the ambassador of Germany and leaders of the Lutheran, Adventist and Evangelical denominations attend the event. AEI: “A step towards the full recognition of equal rights for all citizens, and thus also for evangelicals”.

The city approves an initiative to honour the Reformer that challenged the ‘capital of Catholicism’ five centuries ago. Politicians waited for the approbation of Vatican authorities.

Music, workshops and evangelism will be on the programme. Protestant churches and evangelical organisations unite to prepare the event in Geneva. 

Company confirms it is producing biopic about the radical Swiss Reformer.

Waldensian pastors host Francis, and ask the Vatican to call them what they are: a “Church.”
