Those persons’ ideas made Europeans begin to emphasize the independence of individual beliefs, liberate to their own thoughts and further spread the humanism since the Resistance. It played a subtle but very important role in the development of Western society. Until 1517, the Roman Catholic Church is the only religion on that land. People
Consequently, his Ninety-Five Theses sparked the Protestant Reformation, which challenged the church monarchy and helped split Christianity in two: Catholic and Protestant. As a result, a domino effect, which surpassed religion, led to change within European polities that facilitated a “divided Christian Europe” (Lecture 7, January
This was a radical idea in the middle ages, the Age of Faith. Although Frederick allowed religions to be practiced in his empire, he began to dismantle the power the Church had in the Holy Roman Empire. Frederick II was determined to have a more secular government, even if it meant going against the pope. He was able to attain his goal
One of the major European movement during the sixteenth century was the Protestant Reformation. In the beginning, this movement intended to reform the practices and beliefs of the Catholic Church. Before the age of dissent and division, the church was viewed as the sole vehicle for salvation. However, with all the turmoil within the Catholic Church, the people has lost faith in the church’s ability to lead them into salvation. They have lost sight in its very core.
The Reformation was an important movement during the Renaissance. Also it was initiated and shaped by one man, Martin Luther. He attended the University of Wittenberg, and while there found his answer in St.paul’s epistles, specifically in one line that said, “The just shall live by faith”(Bainton 65). In other words salvation comes through faith, not good works, not through prayer, not by fasting, not by pilgrimages, not by giving to the poor, and not by sacraments or any action that a person can take. We can never be good enough through our actions, to merit salvation.
Martin Luther was a german theologian who brought on the reformation by demanding changes in the Catholic Church (“Martin Luther”). Martin grew with a father that was a miner and grew up working and being very religious (“Martin Luther”). One year later he followed out his promise by leaving everything behind and being ordained a monk (Martin Luther, World History Ancient and Medieval Eras). Many people believe Martin spoke badly about the church because he was corrupted by temptation. Martin Luther was ordained a monk in 1507 and did this hopefully find inner peace however, temptation made

(Merriam and Webster Dictionary.) Luther challenged existing religious conditions and institutions by presenting evidence from the scripture that proved that the papacy had no control over a man’s grace, and therefore indulgences were
The Protestant Reformation, occurring between years 1517 to 1648, challenged the Roman Catholic Church’s authority and practices. The most well known practice of the church was the selling of indulgences, a payment taken in order for sins to be forgiven and lessen the time spent in purgatory. The church was corrupt and it didn’t go unnoticed. An Augustinian monk named Martin Luther was appalled. He acknowledged that faith, and faith alone, was enough to grant one through the gates of heaven.
Martin Luther was strict about these rules of the Protestant Reformation. He felt that people should confess their sins, and depending on how bad the sin is, he thinks that God should judge it. Simultaneously, he didn’t believe that “indulgences,” or state of satisfaction, can pay off the price for one’s sin because he believes that it is not holy nor righteous (“Martin Luther”). In the end, this movement was spread to many countries of Europe such as Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and many
For Augustine, faith is not only the starting point of the knowledge of God, but also the turning point of the restoration of the image of God, the salvation of human beings. The theology of Augustine is the most important foundation of the Reformation, and the interpretation and application of faith in Augustine give origin to two major doctrinal developments of the later Reformers. Luther brings forth the Justification, the doctrine of being justified through faith, by following the approach of grace of God in Augustine. Calvin not only has more comprehensive and refined integration of his teaching of faith and grace in his doctrine of Justification , but also follows Augustine's epistemological approach of contemplation as the basis of
