Solas of the Reformation
Modern Evangelicalism has claimed to be the rightful heir to the Protestant Reformation. Yet it seems that evangelicals today are forgetting the importance of the solas just as badly as the Catholic Church had done in Luther's day, and still does today. "The present-day orthodoxies of relativism, pluralism, and secularism" are pressing in hard on the church (Johnson, Case, 48), so hard in fact that Terry Johnson says "The contemporary audience is reluctant to think theologically. It wants experience. It wants sensations. But it typically does not want to think, or think hard, or think in theological categories. We are beginning to pay a price for our neglect"(Johnson, Case, 48, 78). So let's remind ourselves of the five Principles of Protestantism.
