Ninety-Five Theses for a New Reformation
A Guest Post from Professor Donald T. Williams
Several months ago, I received an inquiry about how to publish a book. It had a fascinating title: Ninety-Five Theses for a New Reformation–A Road Map for Post-Evangelical Christianity. With its depth and breadth of content, yet it’s surprisingly easy-to-read style (not to mention the author’s own poetic contributions–he is an accomplished poet) I needed little encouragement to help him in the process, and so we set to work to agree a design format and cover to present it with appeal, warmth, and gravitas. Don recently shared news of his book’s release under his own imprint, Semper Reformanda Publications. Here’s what he wrote:
Do you believe the Evangelical movement needs not just a Revival but a new Reformation? Do you think the new book Ninety-Five Theses for a New Reformation (Semper Reformanda Publications, 2021) can be a factor in leading us in that direction? Here is how you can help!
- Get and read the book.
- Buy additional copies of it for all your friends and relatives—well, at least for those who might be interested, and particularly for strategic people like your pastor or youth leader who need to be in the vanguard of Reformation.
- Donate a copy to your church library, local library. school library.
- Write a review for Amazon, publish it also on your Facebook page or other social media, and share it to any relevant Groups you belong to.
- Start a Sunday School class or study group where you discuss one Thesis each week (they are all tied to Scripture).
- Invite me to speak to your church, school, or other group. (You can contact me via email at dtw@tfc.edu for that purpose.)
- Above all, pray for God’s blessing on the project. Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain. Believe me; I have verified the truth of that verse through much experience!
The church always needs Reformation–perhaps more desperately now than at any time since Martin Luther nailed the original 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door in 1517. May God use this poor unworthy book to help it happen again! Soli Deo gloria. Amen.

Thank you Jim, this is an interesting post.
I’m actually experimenting with your blog to see whether anything might ensue from my commenting here!
I have noted that no-one ever seems to leave any comments on other peoples’ posts…so why do we need a Comments section after each post on our website blogs?
And that’s a great question! It’s all a part of the process of exchanging ideas and having a conversation in a kind of forum context–and also publicly expressing our own views or challenging the views of others, or even taking the conversation in a different direction.
