Abstract

The 500th anniversary of the Reformation offers the occasion for reconsideration of the meaning of the Reformation not only for its time but for today. Following the classic theological affirmations of the Protestant Reformation (solus Christus, sola scriptura, sola gratia, and sola fide), this reflection proposes an understanding of the Reformation as the permanent movement of the Word of God. Seen through such a lens, "reformation" can be affirmed from an ecumenical perspective. It also can be a critical message of hope for the present church in a period of instability and decline in the West.
