Hm, I suppose it depends what you mean by 'modern,' right? Ultimately it was a _return_ to the faith of Augustine, Anselm, etc. vs the innovations (and perversion) of the Roman sect. This _ad fontes_ approach also restarted the study of Scripture and so the church also grew and matured in her understanding of certain things -- e.g., most of the solas of the Reformation were present going way back, but justiifcation by grace through faith alone was more fully understood. But in no sense was it a 'revolution,' as some Romanists would have us believe.
What do you have in mind when you call it "modern" Christianity? --are you saying "modern" in opposition to "ancient"? If so, I think you'll find this podcast episode very surprising: [Defending the Reformation](https://whitehorseinn.org/resource-library/shows/defending-the-reformation/). Rome has done a great job propagandizing in the past few hundred years, but their narrative is deeply flawed. Give a listen and let me know what you think? (It's only 45 mins.)
