The Reformation of the Protestant church, initiated in the 16th century, fundamentally transformed Christianity by challenging the authority of the Catholic Church and promoting the idea of salvation through faith alone rather than through works or church sacraments. It led to the translation of The Bible into vernacular languages, making scripture more accessible to the laity. Additionally, the Reformation spurred the formation of various Protestant denominations, each with distinct beliefs and practices, thereby diversifying the Christian faith and contributing to the rise of individual interpretation of scripture.
