A timely piece of writing, arguing passionately and persuasively for a serious reconsideration of the great scriptural principles that undergirded the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth-century. Far from being outdated and irrelevant to the church today, Terry Johnson shows that these very principles are the essence of biblical Christianity. Terry Johnson argues passionately and persuasively for a serious reconsideration of the great scriptural principles that undergirded the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth-century. Far from being outdated and irrelevant to the church today, Terry Johnson shows that these very principles are the essence of biblical Christianity.
Sadly, the term Protestantism has been rendered virtually redundant by years of misuse and abuse. It is seen as being antiquated and irrelevant in this present age of open-mindedness and political correctness. But Terry Johnson demonstrates that there is a powerfully strong case to be made for the church to rediscover what this 'unpopular and unfashionable' term really stands for. Using the great 'reformation watchwords' he focuses our attention on Scripture, Christ, faith, grace and the glory of God in all aspects of daily life. A well-written book, attractively presented and full of rich Bible teaching interspersed with thrilling illustrations from church history.

A good introductory study of the Solas of the reformation. Practical and informational.

This book was not a disappointment, but we did have some trouble reading it ...

ByEric D. Smithon October 17, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Reading Terry Johnson's Worshipping with Calvin got our curiosity up on what the current Calvinist theologians are saying about the old controversies with Armenians and Baptists. This book was not a disappointment, but we did have some trouble reading it intelligently because we are not 5 point Calvinists and so are not acquainted with some of the thinking in that camp.

The 5 Solas summarize the Gospel which is being ignored, forgotten, or denied in the modern church

ByKarl Dahlfredon June 28, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Author Terry Johnson makes a good case in this book for the on-going importance of the five solas of the Protestant Reformation (Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solo Christo, Soli Deo Gloria). He shows how each sola preserves an important aspect of Biblical Christianity, arguing from the Bible the necessity and value of each sola. Each sola gets one chapter, except for Soli Deo Gloria, which gets 2 chapters in which Johnson shows how we must seek the glory of God in various areas of life, both private and public.

This book is well written but it does take some concentration to read. However, it is not just for theology buffs or church history nerds who like Latin phrases. The solas of the Reformation are for the whole church and represent nothing more than a clear, concise summary of the essential parts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that are being ignored, forgotten, or denied in the modern church. This book is a call to the church to return to its first love, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is lifted up and magnified when we understand and embrace in our lives the truths summarized in the five solas.

The Five Solas for Today's Believer Priest

ByMacphileon September 27, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Simple yet scholarly. Theological yet practical. Great intro to the Five Solas of the Reformation in an irenic manner. Useful for all believer priests (pastors and laity) who lead or teach others and are looking for a tool to help them prepare lessons on the gospel necessity of the Five Solas: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Solus Christus, Sola Gratia, and Soli Deo Gloria. Highly recommended as a Reformation resource.

A wonderful read on the main tenants of the Reformation

ByKelseyon May 5, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This has been a wonderful read. I have been preaching a sermon series on the 5 Solas and it has been invaluable for this, but in the meantime I learned much between the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches that I was not aware was such large divides. As I life-time Protestant, never thought of the reformation as a revolt but found from some YouTube videos regarding this issue that it is indeed even now considered as such. This book addresses the issues of the revolt, aka reformation, and gives some helpful Scripture references and anecdotes to explain this to others. I also believe that the solas are a great guide to Christians on what ideas are in line with scripture and what is not. If it doesn't vete against - By Scripture Alone, By Christ Alone, By Faith Alone, By Grace Alone, and Glory to God Alone then that idea needs to be rethought. Thank you Terry, for your great work in this area in the life of the church.

The Case for Traditional Protestantism

ByVinnie Beichleron August 1, 2010

Format: Paperback

Terry Johnson has written an excellent summary of the five solas of the reformation and its effects on the western world as we know it today. He spends a chapter on the first four principles (sola scriptura, solo christo, sola fide, sola gratia) and then spends two chapters on the last principle, soli deo gloria. For one who is already familiar with the solas (like myself) these last two chapters were the most interesting. In these chapters, Johnson deals with the effects of the reformation in the areas of Biblical theology, worship, church government, family life, and finally, culture and society. As a believer I was very encouraged by the entire book, especially the chapters on sola scriptura and sola fide. Johnson's interaction with Roman Catholic teachings was very helpful. Johnson has accomplished what he set out do accomplish. However, some may find the last two chapters to be a bit of a tease as the effects of the reformation on these areas of life could easily be booklength studies. Substantive evidence for the effects of the reformation on family life, culture and society could certainly use more of a detailed treatment since the effects are more indirect than the other, more obvious effects on the church. Johnson references several articles and books that treat these subjects more thoroughly. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a brief summary of the reformation principles and the effects thereof.

An excellent presentation of the Christian faith

ByBaxterbloggeron March 29, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is the first book of Terry Johnson's that I have read. If the others are as good as this one, he is an author well worth reading. For a person well-versed in theology, this book provides a wonderful review of the fundamentals of Reformation belief for today. For those not well-versed in theology, this is a great introduction, written in a clear, easy-to-read style. The author explains the concepts very clearly and backs them up with great examples. The sources he cites are impressive. I found the two chapters "Sola Fide" and "Sola Gratia" to be the best in the book, and felt very encouraged and inspired in my own faith. All the chapters are well worth reading and re-reading. The book has practical application, for a clear understanding of the teachings he presents can help strengthen a person's faith and confidence in their Christian walk. I am pleased to give this book five stars.
