FRANKLIN, Kirk J.. How can the Reformation's focus on faithfulness to Scripture inspire us for mission?. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2018, vol.74, n.1, pp.1-9. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v74i1.4817.

Conflicts that arose during the Reformation still brew today, albeit with different players and contexts. Furthermore, how does the faithfulness to Scripture by reformers, such as William Tyndale and Martin Luther, and pre-Reformer, John Wycliffe, influence the church's involvement and influence in God's mission today?
