The denomination is called Lutheran because it is rooted in the teachings of Martin Luther, a 16th-century German monk and theologian who initiated the Protestant Reformation. Luther's emphasis on justification by faith alone, the authority of Scripture, and the priesthood of all believers distinguished his beliefs from those of the Roman Catholic Church. His followers adopted the name "Lutheran" to signify their alignment with his reforms and theological principles. The term became widely used after Luther's 95 Theses in 1517 challenged church practices.
