Tracing their organizational roots to the 16th century in
Europe, Protestant churches claim spiritual ties with the earliest
Christian communities of Palestine. Family members of this tradition see Jesus as prime leader and the Bible as a source of truth and
guidance. Faith in God and doing good in the world are themes of unity
and difference in Protestant traditions. Individuals are the primary
interpreters of the Bible. In common usage, Protestant churches include Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist, Baptist and several others. |
