Veritate - Christianity "Lutheranism" and the Questions

How did Christianity go from one Church to tens of thousands of denominations? In this episode of Veritate, we confront the question directly. If truth comes from God, then truth cannot contradict itself. Yet today Christianity appears fractured into thousands of groups, many of which disagree on core teachings. This episode examines how that happened by stepping back and asking the same four questions that guided the search for truth from the beginning. Who is God. Who is man. What went wrong. How is it fixed.

As the investigation moves into Lutheranism and the Reformation, the questions become unavoidable. If Christ founded a Church, what authority allowed a break from it. If Scripture is the authority, who decides its meaning. And if each person decides, how did that lead to thousands of denominations and even churches that claim no denomination at all. By tracing the history and applying the same four questions used to examine every other religion, a clearer picture begins to emerge.
