Reformation the religious movement that began with the protest of Martin Luther against the sale of indulgences in Germany in 1517. It led to the creation of independent Churches that renounced the claims of the Papacy and sought to return to a thoroughly Biblical Christianity. The Reformers taught that the Bible is the only source of faith and doctrine, rejected transubstantiation, indulgences, the worship of saints and Mary, emphasized justification by faith and proclaimed the priesthood of all believers. | |||||
