| Summary: | The Protestant Reformation was not the outgrowth of one man's personal crusade, nor did it produce one, united front against its Catholic opponents. Even if it employed many common watchwords - sola scriptura, sola fides-against the devices of the "Antichrist," such did not insure simple unanimity as far as their more precise meaning, place, or import in the total expression of the faith. This can even be said of what has been dubbed the chief article of the Reformation, justification by faith. In Wittenberg, as seen in the theology of Luther, justification looked to the living Christ who speaks of his salvation in us through faith, whereas in Zurich Zwingli and Bullinger were more focused on the Christ who died for us on the cross and faith became more a condition by which we receive divine grace than a revealer of that grace. |
