In the Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life by John Calvin, there are five ways of giving glory to God, which simplifies down to the Five Solas: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria. Glory, in this case, is defined as high renown or honor won by notable achievements; those general achievements, which happen to also be summarizations of the Reformations’ theological convictions, are through the individual Solas. Out of the Five Solas that emerged, Sola Scriptura, where the Bible contains the highest authority, is the most relevant in today’s culture for it is the foundation of Christianity, it contains life-changing messages, and it is a way of knowing God and His powers of influence. The Bible…
John Calvin John Calvin was a crucial participant in the Protestant Reformation (1517 – 1648). The Protestant reformation was a stage in time where people started to challenge the Catholic Church teachings as they believed that the church had gotten too far away from the bible as a source and that the Pope and Priests were misusing their power. Calvin had a great amount of power including being able to govern a city in Switzerland called Geneva all because of his religious beliefs and theories.

He became the minister of a Boston parish in 1803. Cultured, eloquent, and a persuasive writer, he became famed throughout New England for his oratorical gifts and as a theologian. In seriousness of purpose and in purity of character, Channing represented the strength and virtue of the old Puritan stock. His portrait, presenting him in the conventional black gown of the clergyman with the white bands at the neck, shows a face highly intellectual and refined, with features delicate, spiritual, almost ascetic in their type. The influence of Dr. Channing was strongly felt; a sermon preached by him at an ordination in Baltimore, in 1819, is especially famous as a rallying-cry of Unitarianism. "…

Thus this idea contradicted some of the corrupt behaviors that the church was practicing such as indulgences. Consequently, Martin Luther’s attempt to reform Catholicism through his work…

The Gospel of John is one of the four Gospels written to tell the story of Jesus’ life. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke have given their accounts of Jesus’ miracles so has John.

The book of John begins, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).…
