CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS – Protestantism

Protestantism emerged as a reform movement within Christianity, criticizing Catholic Church practices and doctrine. As a result, Protestant denominations broke away from Roman Catholicism, establishing their own beliefs and traditions. The core principles of Protestantism include the authority of scripture, justification by faith alone, and salvation through grace. Protestant denominations vary widely in their theology, liturgy, and governance, reflecting diverse interpretations of Christian teachings. From evangelical and fundamentalist to mainline and liberal, Protestant denominations offer a range of perspectives on Christian identity and practice.
