On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his 95 Theses. In this clear statement, he referred to the Holy Scripture alone. This resulted in the Reformation in Germany and Europe. What our world today needs is this Gospel of Grace. May this publication help to preserve it and encourage evangelical Christians to confess and witness to the Gospel.

We have entitled these new Theses, For the Love of the Truth, because of Martin Luther’s Preface to his 95 Theses: 

»Out of love for the truth and from desire to elucidate it, the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and Sacred Theology, and ordinary lecturer therein at Wittenberg, intends to defend the following statements and to dispute on them in that place. Therefore, he asks that those who cannot be present and dispute with him orally shall do so in their absence by letter. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.« (Martin Luther)

In light of the 500th anniversary of the 95 theses, we publish the following new theses for our generation. Our prayer is that these theses will draw you deeper into Holy Scripture so that you might live by faith alone in Christ alone.
