Some would say 1517 was the beginning of the Reformation, the time when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door in Wittenberg. Others would look to 1521 when Luther stood on trial for his life and gave his defence at the Diet of Worms. But the important reality is that those events 500 years ago are still having an impact today.

Martin Luther in his conflict with the Catholic hierarchy, began a reformation that popularized the phrase, “Sola scriptura,” by scripture alone. And yet his life and example did not fully reflect his words. His intent may have been to “renovate” the Catholic church by removing superstition and ignorance, and aligning their practices more closely with scripture. But, history reveals the cracks in the church facade were more than cosmetic. And the results of Luther’s 95 Theses on the Wittenberg Church door was neither freedom nor unity for Christians.
