The Lutheran denomination is the first [[Protestant]] church to have formed. The main cause for the schism from the [[Catholic church]] was Luther's belief in justification by faith alone. Lutherans also believe that the [[bible]], as a divinely inspired book, is the source of all revealed divine knowledge. While Lutherans use a similar liturgical format to the Catholics, it is also similar to that followed by the [[Methodists]] and [[Episcopalians]].
