ABSTRACT
The word Protestantisme, from the German Protestantismus and the French protestantisme, represents the sum of the evangelical-Lutheran and the Reformed church communion’s doctrinal system.1 The concept of reformation, from the Latin reformatio, in a more specified sense refers to the circumstances that alter a particular domain whereupon changes are introduced elsewhere; it also refers to the church movement, led by Luther along with Zwingli and Calvin, which carried through an alteration of Roman Catholic church doctrines and practices and led to the formation of the Protestant and Reformed churches.2
