Five solas
The Five Solas are five Latin phrases (or slogans) that emerged during the Protestant Reformation and summarize the Reformers' basic beliefs and emphasis in contradistinction to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church of the day. The word sola means "alone," "only," and "single" in Latin; the five solas were what the Reformers believed to be the "only" things needed in their respective functions in Christian salvation.
