Reformation Figures

This is an excerpt from “The Freedom of the Christian” written by Martin Luther and translated and edited by Adam Francisco (1517 Publishing, 2020).

The Church's hymns help us see our own world from another—and perhaps not so different—vantage point that illuminates the impact of the work of Christ and the general providing and protecting activity of our Creator in our lives.

The scope of catechesis from the Reformation was broad and included not only instruction at church but in the home and in schools.

As much as Luther calls Christians to a sober belief in the devil, he also calls them to a firm and steadfast faith in Christ

Christians have the rare faculty, above all other people on earth, of knowing where to place their care, while others vex and torture themselves and at length must despair.
