Essential Questions How can religion impact social and political institutions? What happens when societies are confronted with change? How can societies use what they learn from the past?
The Reformation A movement to reform the Catholic Church
What ideas led to the Reformation? Humanism Anger over the selling of indulgences- (a pardon from the Church for your sins) The idea that only a belief in Jesus, and not the Pope, is needed to be a Good Christian
Desiderius Erasmus Scholar and clergyman Wanted to translate the Bible into the vernacular Wrote that people needed to live good lives, not just attend religious services People could use their reason to become better Christians
John Calvin Reformer from France in the 1500s Calvinism became the basis for many Protestant churches, such as the Puritans and the Presbyterians Predestination-God has planned everyone s life People worked hard to prove they were among the saved The congregation, not the kings or bishops, choose church leaders This furthered the idea of political elections
Martin Luther German Monk 1483-1546 God s salvation was a gift from God, not something to be earned by doing good work Created the 95 Theses, or arguments against indulgences Was excommunicated from the church
Lutheranism Faith, not good works lead to salvation The Bible is the final source of truth, not a church or its ministers The church is made up of all its believers not just the clergy
Who would do that???? Martin Luther stood up for his beliefs, even though he offended people. What cause is worth standing up for even if it offends people?
