Lutheran Reformation?

Question

Is the Lutheran Reformation the same as the Protestant Reformation? Or is Lutheran apart of the Protestant refomation? Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Luther represented a catalyst that allowed for a wellspring of anti-Roman feeling to take up expression in the Protestant Reformation. The entire movement is referred to as the Protestant Reformation, but looking back through the branches of protestant churches you will find they stretch back primarily to Luther, Calvin, John Knox, Henry VIII of England, and the Anabaptists.

Answer 2

Martin Luther started the "reformation" movement, and the fad caught on. He was the founder of the first "protestant" church. Other people decided he was right about some things, and wrong about others, and started THEIR own "protestant" church. Then some people who thought THOSE people were wrong started THEIR own "protestant" church, etc......

The overwhelming majority all have one thing in common though: they all trust Jesus as the savior (messiah) sent by God to attone for sins.

Answer 3

The Lutheran reformation regretably started the large protestant reformation from the Catholic church, rather than work within the church's reform to fix the problems

Answer 4

It started even before Luther but he brought it to a peak with his challenges (nailed to the church door) his writings, and his exposing of immorality and ignorance in the church. Others Calvin etc also brought out the light of the Gospel . There were some differences between some of them but they were agreed on the main issues of justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone and they laboured to get the Bible available to the people in their own languages which had been obscured in the Latin for a long time.
