Why We’re Protestant: The Five Solas of the Reformation, and Why They Matter
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
One of the key questions the Protestant Reformation asked and answered was: how does a person get right with God? In approaching this question, the Reformers set out to rediscover and establish the bounds of essential Christianity through five declarations: sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), sola gratia (grace alone), sola fide (faith alone), solus Christus (Christ alone), and sola Deo gloria (the glory of God alone). Nate Pickowicz’s guide will help us understand not only the Reformation, but the Christian faith itself.

Nate Pickowicz has done a masterful job in revisiting the importance of the Reformation and why Protestants need to keep contending for the Fives Solas that distinguish Roman Catholicism from Biblical Christianity.

Here is a desperately needed book for the dark days in which we live. Why We’re Protestant deals not with peripheral issues, but with what is absolutely essential and non–negotiable to the Christian faith.

What Pickowicz accomplishes is exceptional. Unlike many books written about the five solas, this one intentionally avoids Christian jargon, and would be a helpful evangelistic resource. It is direct but patient, clear but kind. Most of all it is persuasive.
