WhatwereMartinLuther'smainideas? 1.JustificationofFaith:Humansarenotsavedthroughtheirgood works(e.g.,paidindulgences),butthroughtheirdeepandhonest faithinGod.Thiswouldbecomeoneofthechiefteachingsofthe ProtestantReformation. 2.AuthorityofScripture:theBible,asthewordandwillofGod,is theonlysourceChristiansshouldtakeasabasisforreligious teachingsandpractices.ThewordofthepopeandtheCatholic ChurchwerenotbasedonScriptureandshouldthereforebe ignored. 3.PriesthoodofAllBelievers:LuthertaughtthatallChristianswere equalandcouldinterprettheBibleforthemselves.Thismeantthat theworkofpriestsandtheauthorityoftheCatholicChurch,would begreatlyundermined. 15.
