- metanoia ='be patient'
- Sola Fide = ' by faith alone'
- priesthood of all bbelievers
- sola scriptura = 'by scripture alone'
- posted the 95 thesis on a church door in wittenburg 1517
- this was because of indulgences being sold by johannes tetzel to the laity giving false hope of freeing peoples souls from pergatory
- taught the laity that they need to believe in metanoia which is 'good works' to the church not faith like luther later figures out
