The Protestant Reformation was a major 16th century European movement aimed initially at reforming the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. The Reformation in western and central Europe officially began in 1517 with Martin Luther and his 95 Theses. This was a debate over the Christian religion. At the time there was a difference in power. Roman Catholicism stands with the Pope as central and appointed by God. Luther’s arguments referred to a direct relationship with God and using the local vernacular to speak to the people. Luther’s arguments remove the absolute power from the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church in general. The revenue from the taxes paid to the Church would be reduced with Luther’s ideas, in part because of

The religious movement, a break of religion all over the where the main control of the catholic church broke. The ides of marriage were altered , “by which all that is the husband's is also the wife's” to show separation from the main part of religion (Luther document 4). Where people would not just give in to the christian way , “cannot submit [their] faith either to the Pope or to the Councils... frequently erred and contradicted eachother” because of these contradictions happening between the church's ranks (Luther document 8). The monks became vile , “breaking the vows of the church by having concubines and illegitimate children” their celibacy was now non existent (Bosch document 7). Also The added religions that formed at this time , “[They] ought not, by way of custom, to speak of predestination...they become negligent in the works” which all have changed their ways of how things happen which anger other. While people break the main religion religions produce like wildfire, however the were other thing affected at this period which made life in Europe drastically different, the social and political changes. The social and

The Reformation affected Europe in many ways, leaving many lasting effects on the people, churches, and government.

Nineteenth century America contained a baffling cluster of Protestant factions and categories, with distinctive teachings, practices, and hierarchical structures. However, by the 1830s these bodies had a profound zealous accentuation in like manner. Protestantism has constantly contained a critical outreaching strain, yet it was in the nineteenth century that a specific style of zeal turned into the overwhelming type of otherworldly expression. What most importantly else portrayed this zeal was its dynamism, the pervasive feeling of lobbyist vitality it discharged. As Charles Grandison Finney, the main outreaching of mid-nineteenth century America, put it: "religion is the work of man, it is something for man to do." This fervent activism included a critical doctrinal move far from the predominately Calvinist introduction that had portrayed a lot of eighteenth-century American Christianity.

As indicated by the sarcastic title of her book “Those Terrible Middle Ages!” French historian Régine Pernoud addresses this commonly held misconception. She argues this time in history spanning approximately a thousand years as well as the image of the Church, have been irresponsibly represented. Her examination of this time period reveals that it is not the Church, but modernism that generates a return to the classical ideology of antiquity. These ancient pagan beliefs of the distant past are not as distant as we may think. They have resurfaced and are present in our own age.

The first picture shows a church that is full of paintings and sculptures, this is a photo of the Catholic Church. In the Catholic Church they worshiped relics and used many statues and other pieces of art. Along with the use of relics, the Catholic Church used the bible to teach and preach about God, whereas the protestant Church did not. The second picture is of a church that is mostly empty, this shows the protestant church, because they did not use relics and they focused on their relations with god.

Welcome home! It’s been a long journey over the past 18 months. And just two weeks ago, we gathered together to return our Torah scrolls to the ark and dedicate this sanctuary space once again.

Another book, written by Bard Thompson during his teaching and professional career, also deals with the issue of humanism and its influence on thinking. Thompsons wrote many notes and he created written aids to help his students. Upon his death, his widow viewed his work and felt that there was further valuable use for them. The book is set up like a textbook; however, it utilizes information beyond a simple textbook format, inserting ideas and thoughts from Thomas, making it a more personal instructional instrument. This book covers the period from the Renaissance and the subsequent Reformation. Based on writings for his class on the subject, it covers in detail all of the major events leading up to and during the Renaissance and the people

The origins of french culture can be dated back to the time of Charlemagne, or even before, when it was part of a much bigger culture from which have stemmed the different ways of life of many european countries. One of the most ancient aspects of this French culture, which influences the lives of millions of people, is religion. Developed from the human desire to understand and explain our world and beyond, religion has played a major role in the formation of current French culture. Looking into its presence in the 18th century, I will begin to analyze how globalization has affected religion in ways which have made it what it was in the 20th century. When the French Revolution broke out in 1789, Catholicism was the official religion of the

In Europe, the long nineteenth century, (1789-1914) was a tumultuous era of political, economic, and social revolution which created an increasingly secular culture. Europeans of all races and classes looked outside the church to solve societal and familial issues. Gifted intellectuals proposed new philosophies on human thought and behavior, while innovative communication allowed ideas to travel quicker and easier than ever before. By the early 1800’s, Europeans began to question the role and necessity of the church and religion in their lives. Revolutionaries developed political and social

Modernity, it is a macro process of transition from traditional to modern society. “Formation of a modern political map of the world began in early 1800 in Western Europe and maybe characterized as the product of the twin revolutions.” European colonization of the New World, the economic and political development of new territories led to significant changes in the political map. Modernity it is a complex of multi-faceted process that took a place in Europe during the 18th century and had covered all aspects of society. The modernity of the production meant the industrialization - is constantly growing use of machines. In the social sphere modernization is closely linked with urbanization, an unprecedented growth of cities, which led to prevailing in the economic life of society. In the political sphere modernity meant the democracy of political structures, laying the preconditions for the formation of a civil society and rule of law. In the spiritual realm associated with secularization -: the release of all spheres of public and private life from the separation of religion and the church, their worldliness and intensive development of literacy, education, scientific knowledge. All of these are inextricably linked to each other processes of change emotional attitudes of man,

A series of religious reform known as the Protestant Reformation swept across Europe for more than a century. This upheaval was started by Martin Luther and his ideas inspired others. John Calvin of Geneva elaborated on Luther’s ideas and founded Calvinism. The Institutes of the Christian Religion was written in 1536 by Calvin. He wrote that the all-knowing God knew who was going to heaven and hell. Some souls, known as the “elect”, had been destined for eternal bliss and others for eternal torment. This is known as predestination, since people have no control over their future. The Calvinists constantly sought after signs of conversion. Conversion is the intense, identifiable personal experience in which God revealed to the elect their heavenly destiny. Those who lived sanctified lives and were destined to go to heaven were known as “visible saints.” In England, King Henry VIII broke his ties with the Roman Catholic Church in the 1530s. Some English religious reformers wanted a total purification of Christianity. They became known as “Puritans” and some weren’t happy with the slow progress of the Protestant Reformation. A tiny group of puritans called Separatists broke away entirely from the Church of England. One group of Separatists in Holland dealt with years of toil, poverty, and the “Dutchification” of their children. “Dutchification” is when the culture of the Dutch affect the minds of the Separatists. This encouraged them to seek refuge in America. A group of
