History volumes like the martyrs' mirror, Leonard Verdine's volume, the reformers and their stepchildren, and the book that I just read, the battle for the church to all, are very important resources to help you better understand that the reformers ultimately, and the reformation itself ultimately, did not become the friend of the average new testament bible-believing Christian and community history records that untold, thousands of men, women and children were hunted down, persecuted.
Reformation Day is often celebrated as a monumental event in Christian history, but have you ever questioned its true impact on New Testament believers? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Dr. Rick Peterson takes a critical look at the Reformation, challenging the widely held views of its success. Dr. Peterson argues that the Reformers and their followers were not the allies of genuine Bible-believing Christians of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Instead, he highlights the problematic nature of the state church that emerged from the Reformation, which continued to persecute thousands of New Testament believers across Europe. By examining church history through a different lens, Dr. Peterson encourages Christians to identify more closely with Jesus Christ rather than a Protestant identity. He also warns of the dangers of political Calvinism making a comeback, urging listeners to approach church history with honesty and caution.
This episode offers a thought-provoking and informative perspective on the Reformation, making it essential listening for anyone interested in the complexities of Christian history.
