Christian theology studied and used the Bible to explain the reason for life and the message of God. The way in which this was done varies from time to time and from region to region . In the first section of this essay, Western Europe is considered the central point of one of the most challenging divisions of the Christian faith. The Protestant Reformation would pave the way for new types of Christian faith known as Protestantism. The causes that precipitated this movement will be addressed to understand the social motivations of the Reformation. The figure of Martin Luther King will also be discussed, one of the most popular names of Protestantism from which the Lutheran Church was born. The role of the Humanists in the Renaissance period is introduced as it influenced the entire movement and Luther himself. Theological scholars used the ideas of the humanist approach to decode many of the inconsistencies in the sacred texts that formed the Middle Ages Bible. After using all these new techniques; which contributed to achieving a clearer understanding of the sacred texts. The creation of more faithful translations was a great step forward from which not only the clergy but also, and above all, the laity could benefit. Luther was concerned with the role and duties of lay people whose faith was completely dependent on the preaching of the Roman Church and designed a completely new system in which the God-clergy-laity structure changed to God-laity.
