A Pre Printing Press Increase And Interest

to come to conclusion with the question asked did the printing press greatly affect reformation or exploration it came down to exploration, although they both greatly affected europe in substantial ways reformation had bigger impacts in europe as for exploration had impacts in europe and later on towards the end of the millennium bigger impacts across the world leading to the new discoveries, new religions and technological advances that reformation and what martin luther did is not a bigger cause of the printing press nor a bigger impact than

Many social changes emerged following the Protestant Reformation. The printing press and mass production of books were a major source of growth and success to the Reformation (Document 3). Because of the printing press, Martin Luther’s message was simply spread throughout Europe. Now that people could access the Bible on their own, the Europeans were able to study Scripture without a

The Printing press was a big part of why the protestant reformation happened by helping Martin Luther spread his saying faster. In document II the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press it made is easier to spread the words of people this made it harder for the Catholic religion to spread the religion because it would spread information quicker and the Catholic Church couldn't do anything even if they tried and people started believing what the Printing press would say and started disbelieving in the church.

To recap, the printing press was a phenomenal and a unique apparatus. It was constructed by a goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. The printing press made the lives of everyone simple, it was used for printing things. It was a big advancement during this time period. It was auspicious and many famous people used it such as Martin Luther. Martin Luther used it because he was disappointed with his church because they were selling indulgences. The printing press made it possible for Luther to copy 95 theses and nail them in the front door. The 95 these were known all through out, this would be impossible without the printing press to make the 95 Theses known “throughout Germany in two weeks and throughout Europe in a month.”. Although one of the consequences of the printing press was exploration, reformation was the most important because the printing press made people more literate and created new believes. They had a better understanding of the Bible and were able to tell if the pope was lying to them or not. This is why the most important consequence of the printing press was

In this essay, I will outline the details and advancements of the Reformation and Exploration, along with my view on which was the most important consequence of the printing press. Document A shows two maps of Europe. One of the maps shows how many printing presses there were and where they were located in 1471. The second map also shows how many and where printing presses were, but during 1500. The first map has very few dots indicating that during

In the 1450’s books were only accessible for rich people, as their scarcity and the complicity of creating, making most of the people illiterate. Thanks to the facility the printing press brought for books, they became more accessible and people started to learn how to read and write, to later on read the Bible and realise the Catholic Church was not pure at all. And to support this statement document C that tells us that people started to unfollow the church and streets follow Martin Luther in the new religion of reformation. Clearly showing that for the 1560 Europe was divided, and instead of being mostly catholic they passed to be half Protestant. And because of the points said above, and the evidence of the documents the printing press had more important effects in reformation era, instead of

Martin Luther’s 95 Theses’ were posted on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. “Because of the printing press, the 95 theses were known throughout Germany in two weeks and throughout Europe in a month.” (Document B). In harmony the printing press allowed many religious differences to spread causing the religious mix of Catholic and Protestant. “Luther’s protest triggered a movement called the Protestant Reformation and led to the Lutheran religion” (Document B). Between 1500 and 1560 England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, most of Scotland and many small German states became mainly Protestant. The printing press made it possible for many religious beliefs to spread allowing for people to become more educated and form better opinions on

After the Reformation, a significant amount of social changes came to light. Nevertheless, this time in history, as shown in Document 3, wouldn’t have reached the success that it did without the printing press. This was a machine that Johannes Gutenberg invented in order to spread information quickly and accurately. Martin Luther’s message was able to be easily spread throughout Europe now. And, with people having the ability to access the Bible on their own, not only was the population of Europe able to study Scripture without a priest, but also, the literacy rate in Europe dramatically increased.

As André Gide once said, “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” During the mid-1400s in Europe, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg created the printing press, a machine that revolutionized the way ideas spread. The printing press quickened the production of books, speeding up the spread of information from one place to another; it also educated people in the areas of reading and writing. However, the two main consequences of the printing press were the Exploration and the Protestant Reformation. Although the Reformation was substantially impacted by the printing press, exploration was a greater consequence of the printing press because it sparked interest in exploration in the European citizens,

When thinking about the historical events that are associated with the reformation movement that can be traced back to the late 1300s and early 1400s with men like John Wycliffe, The Lollards, and Jan Hus (Men who rejected the Divine origin of the Roman Catholic Church and the alleged authority of the Pope) I can't help but feel the table had been set, that is, the conditions were perfect for Martin Luther's placing of the ninety-five theses on the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. By God's providence Luther was to undertake the most difficult task of returning the church to its intended authority - The Scriptures. Luther understood as well as anyone the sad state of affairs as it related to the Church, the Papacy, its politics and the increasing corruption of the sale of indulgences to his fellow countrymen.

Will Swanson 10/12/14 Hour 2 Printing Press The printing press had a major effect on society. It spread information very quickly and accurately. The invention of the printing press helped create a wider literate reading public.

During the early 1500’s and 1600’s, religion and society as a whole went through a dramatic shift. Catholicism dominated Europe in the 1500’s, but that was about to change. The Renaissance time period brought new inventions and a new way of thinking, but also brought new troubles. Martin Luther emerged with a strong opinion against the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was corrupt and proceeded to get worse. This dramatic religious reformation occurred because of the invention of one man, Yohan Gutenberg. Gutenberg was the inventor of the Printing Press. The Printing Press greatly affected religion in Europe throughout the 1500’s and 1600’s, which resulted in life as it is today. The most important influence the Printing Press had on religion was the production of bibles in vernacular.

It is a fact that the printing press has played a vital role on the global stage in creating awareness and enlightening people with different information's resulting in different effects on those receiving the information. It is based on this that fact that the Protestant Reformation has enjoyed its publicity of success, because the possibility of Martin Luther and the reformation to be known and debated upon and people taking action from the message in the reformation campaign of Martin Luther, could have only been possible because of the availability of the printing press technology ("Martin Luther and The Printing Press").

Now the Protestant Reformation has such a huge impact on religion during the Renaissance and shows how a simple innovation can change the spiritual level of a whole civilization. This innovation is the 95 theses by Martin Luther. According to History.com, “ The Catholic Church was ever after divided, and the Protestantism that soon emerged was shaped by Luther’s ideas. His writings changed the course of religious and cultural history in the West.” (History.com, 2017). Now from this it could be interpreted that this simple paper changed the religious course of that time. Or in other word the church went from being the top notch ruler to a simple counselor. Now this drop in religious activity affected people since Humanist ideology started to gain control in the way that people now valued themselves and their well being way more then the church. Another thing was that the printing press made information go around easier such as the Bible and the 95 theses. This resulted in people being able to criticize the authorial figure more since they were given such resources as Martin Luther paper and etc. Now the author of “What Impact Did the Invention of the Printing Press Have on the Spread of Religion?” Rita Kennedy also claims such thing since she writes, “Gutenberg’s printing press “meant more access to information, more dissent, more informed discussion and more widespread criticism of authorities,” observes the British Library.” (Kennedy, 2017). Therefore the creation of the 95 Thesis changed the way religion was interpreted during the

With the help of the printing press, Martin Luther was able to get his ideas out more quickly. “Much of central Europe and Scandinavia had broken with the Catholic church I a movement that came to be known as the protestant reformation” (McKay et al., 2015, pg. 439). Critics of the church had focused their attacks on immortality, ignorance, and absenteeism of the clergy in the early 16th century. Luther had studied St. Paul’s letters in the New Testament when he realized that “salvation and justification came through faith, and that faith is a giddy from God, not the result of Hickman effort” (McKay et al., 2015, pg. 440). Luther was troubled that people didn’t have to repent after they would buy these indulgences. “Christianity rid itself of certain corrupt
