About this ebook
On 31 October 1517, Martin Luther posted his ninety-five theses on the castle church door in Wittenberg. More than any other event, this has the best claim to be the starting gun that set the Reformation in motion. Five hundred years later, the Reformation still has important things to say. In this clear, incisive and accessible survey, Michael Reeves and Tim Chester show how the Reformation helps us answer questions like: How do we know what’s true? Can we truly know God? How does God speak? What’s wrong with us? How can we be saved? Who am I? That many people today find the Reformation strange and remote exposes our preoccupation with this material world and this momentary life. If there is a world beyond this world, and a life beyond this life, then it doesn’t seem to matter very much to us. At its heart, the Reformation was a dispute about how we know God and how we can be right with him. At stake was our eternal future - and it still is.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A much needed read for all protestants. Indeed the reformation still matters because all the things they fought against are still prevalent. After reading this book am more thankful for the men and women God used to rediscover the truth of his word. God really loves us to the uttermost that he gladdens our hearts in Christ Jesus. Reformation theology gladdens our hearts. Thanks be to God who has saved us by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone by the scriptures alone to His glory alone.
