About 95 Notes
95 Notes is a place for anyone curious about the Protestant Reformation — its people, ideas, controversies, and lasting influence on the modern world. The goal is simple: take a period of history that’s often treated as dusty, academic, or overly complicated, and make it clear, engaging, and surprisingly fun to explore.
Whether you’re familiar with names like Martin Luther and John Calvin or you’re just beginning to wonder what the “95 Theses” were actually about, this site aims to give you accessible explanations without requiring a theology degree.
What You’ll Find Here
95 Notes publishes articles that are:
- Clear and conversational — no jargon, no gatekeeping
- Historically grounded — accurate, well‑researched, and sourced
- Lightly humorous — because history doesn’t have to be dry
- Question‑driven — each article answers the questions people actually ask
- Focused on the Reformation — its ideas, people, and cultural impact
Topics include:
- Martin Luther and the early Reformation
- The Five Solas
- Key events like the Diet of Worms

- The theology and controversies that shaped Protestantism
As the site grows, you’ll also see book reviews, historical commentary, and explorations of how Reformation ideas still influence the world today.
Why “95 Notes”?
The name is a nod to Luther’s 95 Theses, the document that helped spark the Reformation.
But instead of 95 arguments nailed to a church door (allegedly), these are “notes” — reflections, explanations, and explorations designed to help modern readers understand a pivotal moment in history.
Who Writes This?
95 Notes is written by someone who loves history, theology, and making complex ideas accessible. The aim isn’t to preach or persuade, but to explain, clarify, and invite curiosity about a period that shaped much of the world we live in today.

To make the Reformation understandable, engaging, and relevant — one article at a time.
