One of Martin Luther’s greatest heroes, Hus was a Roman Catholic priest turned protestant theologian who lived in Bohemia at the turn of the fifteenth century. During his preaching commitment at Bethlehem Chapel in Prague, he began to seriously study the Bible. His study led him to believe that much of what went on in the church was unbiblical and in need of reform. Hus then began in earnest to preach the truth and inerrancy of the Scriptures, while teaching that ultimate authority belonged only to God, not to a pope or earthly ruler. He was greatly influenced by Wycliffe’s writings, and shared the truths contained therein with the Bohemian church.

Nevertheless, it is important to understand that the Reformation was not a single historical event; it was a lengthy and complex process that occurred over an extended period of time. As such, it has been perceived to consist of several lesser changes that contributed to one overarching movement. The focus for many historians concentrated on the political machinations that underlined the development of the Reformation. This type of Reformation historiography was typically advanced by political historians and biographers. All perceived the English Reformation as being a clear consequence of an ‘imposition from above’ by the Catholic Church.

It achieved this goal by creating devout Christian followers who wanted to spread their newfound devotion to religion. While the church was first created to spread good, the church became increasingly corrupt during Martin Luther’s time. During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church decided to teach that salvation was possible through works of righteousness that pleased God. While this statement does encourage acts of good, the church abused its meaning by proposing a new means of absolving oneself from sin. This new method was purchasing indulgences.

The defense of Chief Red Jacket gave to his religion is a wonderful piece of history that does not get enough credit. Chief Red Jacket’s speech illuminates the thoughts of the Native Americans in that specific era. Today, the Native Americans and other minorities in the United States of America have been having more recognition.

Religious leaders such as Erasmus and Luther proposed reform to the Church based on humanist criticism of New Testament. It was Luther, who published the ’95 Theses’ in 1517. Here he challenged the Pope’s authority and argued against corruption. This led to the Reformation, a break with the Roman Catholic Church and formation of the Protestant Church.

The American Enlightenment differed from its European counterpart in that there were few atheists or agnostics that emerged from this movement. The American movement was responsible for starting a process that would help to balance religion and science. There were many great religious minds that were influential in this process as well. A theologian by the name of Cotton Mather wrote many crucial sermons that helped to refine theology.

A specific religion is christianity. Christianity was very unlike other religions, particularly because of their monotheistic views. Christians were seen as threat to the Romans at this time prior to around 381, which is around when Christianity became a common religion. Although Christians were good citizens, and people who wanted to follow Jesus, they were constantly impacted by aspects of the Roman culture. The Roman history, pertaining to the way people worshiped, the philosophy and the music all had a significant impact on the Christian church.

Although the numbers of christians in Germany are declining the popular religion is still christianity.

Have you ever thought of how we got the Bible that we have and why some churches uses other books in addition to the sixty-six in our bible? Catholic bible includes other books known as Apocrypha, then how do we know if the books in our Bible are the books God wants us to have and that other books that are not inspired by Him. In the early church, many books were moving around the churches and some of these books carried teachings which caused a lot of problems in the church. A lot of controversial issues were raised about what Christians should believe, how Christians should behave, and who gets to decide both. Some of the early church leaders gathered together to decide which books were worth to be included in the Bible, and which ones were

They sought a simpler kind of Christian worship, with the emphasis on the individual’s own conscience and direct relationship with God, without the intervention of the Virgin Mary and all the saints, never mind about the control of priests, cardinals and the Pope, who were seen as being too powerful, too wealthy and too corrupt. Protesting against the doctrines of the Church of Rome, members of the new and very different religion became known as Protestants. (Possibly with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable originally, though we now stress the first syllable.) Meanwhile in England, there was an added historical ingredient to go into the mix.

Jesus’s name has been banned from being taught in many countries around the world. However in these countries Christianity is steadily growing. The Holy Spirit, that is what gives persecuted Christ followers the courage to teach Jesus, is always around believers and un-believers: the Holy spirit cannot be banned. Believing this simple truth, we know that Christianity changes the individual, the culture, and the government. There is a plethora of tales of Christ changing people for; C.S. Lewis was a devout Atheist turned Christian.

A religious movement, that made religion more popular, between 1730 - 1740. Jonathon Edwards and George Whitefield were the two who set off the great awakening. Jonathon Edwards helped set off the Great Awakening because of in his “powerful” sermons, he would call on colonists, also young people, to examine their lives. He would preach of god’s sweetness and beauty, but at the same time he would warn the listeners to pay attention to the bibles teachings. Otherwise, they would be sinners.

Many argue that the United States was founded on christian principles but, in the recent years there have been more instances where people challenge religion being used in the government. An example would be the pledge of allegiance that is recited nationwide every morning as school begins. The pledge of allegiance has a line that says as follows “Under God” which ,many people argue is unconstitutional. This particular cartoons portrays a setting in a courtroom where there is a man testifying to challenge the use of the line “under god”.

1 A) From a historical perspective, the United States was a Christian nation from 1600 to around 1940’s despite efforts to enforce the notion that the state is separate from the church. The main reason for this was due to the characteristics of the Puritans which included being strict and religious. The Puritans were persecuted from Britain for going against the church of England and declaring a divine intervention for their faith known as “Errand in the wilderness”. During the Great Awakening from 1730’s to the 1740’s there was a call for the state to get rid of religious hierarchy and place a more egalitarian system in its place.

Ever since the Protestant Reformation started in sixteenth century Germany, Europe was arguably no longer the same. The revival of Biblical theology had led to Western Christendom splitting into various denominations of the Christian faith, with Protestant sects and other Orthodox Churches. Despite the Church of Rome still holding remarkable power and influence through its Papal States and the Holy Roman Empire, the Pope could no longer be considered as the sole religious authority in Europe. Contrary to popular opinion, this revolution cannot be solely credited to Martin Luther and his theological writings, but rather to a chain of events that had, was and will happen during the century. The transformations in Europe instead was key to the
