Synopsis

Five hundred years after the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, many people—Christians and non-Christians alike—view it as a conflict about issues that are no longer relevant to the church. But what if the Reformation still has something to teach us? What if the doctrines so vigorously debated and defended by the Reformers still matter today?

These questions continue to impact the church today—proving that the Reformation is much more than just a bit of history we can leave behind.
