Protestant

Protestantism is the branch of Christianity that emerged from the 16th-century Reformation, sparked in 1517 when German monk Martin Luther publicly challenged the sale of indulgences and the authority of the Pope. Reformers including Luther, John Calvin, and Huldrych Zwingli championed the principles known as the five solas — scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and the glory of God alone — arguing that the Bible rather than church tradition is the final authority and that salvation is a free gift received through faith. Protestantism has no single central authority and today encompasses thousands of denominations, including Lutherans, Reformed, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, and Evangelicals. Worship styles vary from formal liturgy to informal contemporary services, but usually emphasize preaching, congregational singing, and the two sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper. With roughly 900 million adherents worldwide, Protestantism is the most internally diverse of the major Christian traditions.
