Luther's Theology

The foundations of Luther's theology can be stated very simply: sola scriptura, sola fide; that is, by Scripture alone and by faith alone. Luther's theology was radical because it radically stripped away centuries of Church doctrine and practice, placing Christianity squarely within the confines of the Bible and of the individual.

There's more, of course.
