LO: 3.8 ONLINE RESOURCES Chapter 10 (10.3) The Spread of the Reformation
The Spread of the Reformation Learning Intention(s) Understand how the Reformation spread throughout Europe.
THE SPREAD OF THE REFORMATION The Reformation spread quickly throughout Europe. After reading Luther s writings, many others began to question the teachings of the Catholic Church. Some came to broadly the same conclusions as Luther, but others would take a very different approach.
THE SPREAD OF THE REFORMATION The other major events in the Reformation were: 1531: Ulrich Zwingli launched the Reformation in Switzerland. 1534: Henry VIII established the Church of England as separate from the Catholic Church, with himself as head (you will learn more about this in chapter 11). 1537: King Christian III declared Lutheranism the official religion of Denmark and Norway.
THE SPREAD OF THE REFORMATION 1541: John Calvin was invited to Geneva, Switzerland to set up his version of Protestantism: Presbyterianism very different to both Lutheraniam and Catholicism. He believed in PREDESTINATION: that God had already decided who was going to heaven before people were born and nothing they did in life could affect that. He preached a strict Christianity that banned statues in churches, dancing, gambling, fancy clothes and anything else he thought might lead people into sin.
THE SPREAD OF THE REFORMATION 1571: The Netherlands became Protestant. 1572: John Knox introduced Presbyterianism to Scotland. Within a century of Luther publishing his theses, the Protestant challenge to the Catholic Church had spread across Europe. The continent divided along religious lines: most of the northern countries became Protestant and the south remained mostly Catholic.
