In order to understand the ideal of a faith movement, we should understand its historical significance. Ideal represents the longings of the people who are under certain circumstances of the era.
Unless we understand circumstances of the Reformation era, we cannot define ideal of religious reformation. Religious reformation presented its ideal of "Only by the Bible", "Only by faith", and "Only by grace". In those days, superstitions were widely prevalent, and indulgences were sold by ecclesiasticism. As circumstances of those days were strayed from the truth of the Bible like this, the ideal "Only by the Bible" could illuminate the Reformation..
Like this, regarding ideal of Berea movement, we are to reveal Berea's historical significance.
