The Five Solas of the Reformation The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century is no doubt the greatest event in the history of the Church and perhaps of the modern world after Pentecost. For this reason, towards the end of October every year, many Reformed and Protestant Churches take the effort to commemorate the event. The defining moment of the Reformation, after all, was October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther nailed the famous Ninety-Five Theses on the door of the Castle Church at Wittenburg. There are many ways to appreciate the Reformation. But perhaps the most important way is to consider its major theological propositions. And thankfully, there is an easy way of remembering the Reformation by the use of five Latin watchwords. We call it the five-solas, though if we want to be fastidious, they are not really all solas: Sola Scriptura; Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solo Christo (or Solus Christus) and Soli Deo Gloria.
