In this episode of the Thinking Fellows podcast, the Fellows answer, "Did Martin Luther invent a new religion?" They explore the historical context of the Reformation, the theological implications of Luther's teachings, and the ongoing debates between Catholicism and Protestantism. The conversation highlights the role of humanism in the Reformation and the centrality of scripture for understanding justification by faith. Ultimately, they conclude that Luther did not create a new religion but instead rightly reformed and returned to the core tenets of Christianity.

0:39.8 | Our topic today is, did Martin Luther invent or create a new religion? |
0:47.4 | But seeing this hum up a bit more lately, in fact, we talked about Wes Huff, I don't know, a couple weeks ago, |

1:09.0 | They're hard to keep count of all the different types of Catholics out there. |
1:14.3 | But... |

1:20.2 | I would say that's the meme, you know? |
1:22.5 | There's probably, I would, in my reckoning, more diverse than Protestants in some ways. |

1:45.1 | What Protestant derangements Catholics have with West Hoff? His misrepresentation of the canon of |
1:52.9 | scripture saying that Catholics have added books to scripture, he's got some other videos. And then I think the other thing I saw was his |
