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.

Christian Focus
In the ecumenical movement (including Roman Catholicism, liberal Protestantism and sectors of Eastern Orthodoxy) there is a widespread sentiment that the Reformation is over. Our age resonates less and less with theological distinctions when thinking about ‘Christianity’. Pope Francis has suggested that Christianity is like a ‘polyhedron’ where everything is related with everything else with no criteria. I commend Nate Pickowicz’s book because it underlines the reality that the historical events of the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century were shaped by theological concerns that have permanent and on–going significance. Our age (and our churches) need to hear afresh why we are Protestant.

This is a refreshing and compelling presentation of the heart of Biblical Christianity: the five Solas of the Protestant Reformation. Such clear proclamation of Gospel truth is desperately needed in our age; we are led to rejoice in our great salvation, and warned of the dangers of deviating from this true path.

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.

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.
