Five truths that reshaped the church, carried on your chest.

This Reformed Christian tee from Calvinist Apparel presents the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation in a vintage medallion design. An engraved Luther Rose with a cross-in-heart center is ringed by Sola Scriptura, Solus Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, and Soli Deo Gloria.

Five declarations. One gospel.

In the sixteenth century, the Reformers summed up the heart of the gospel in five Latin phrases: Scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and to God alone be the glory. The Five Solas of Reformation design puts them together in one heirloom-style emblem, made for Reformed believers, church history lovers, and anyone who wants their faith on display with substance behind it.

The design

• Luther Rose-inspired center: A detailed, engraved-style rose surrounds a heart holding a solid cross, a classic Reformation symbol of a heart at rest in the finished work of Christ.
• All Five Solas: Sola Scriptura, Solus Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, and Soli Deo Gloria wrap the medallion in bold, legible lettering.
• Vintage seal styling: A scalloped, coin-inspired border, fine radial linework, and an ornate calligraphic title give the piece the look of an antique wax seal or book-plate.
• Tan, gold, and cream on black: A restrained palette that reads as classic rather than loud.
