Shared by all of them was the impression that salvation is mutually effected by humans through their ability to please God by doing righteous acts or good works, and by God through his offer of forgiving grace.

The Middle Ages, the era between 500 and 1400 AD, may be viewed as a period of decline, warfare, religious commitment or as a time of noteworthy achievements. As a result, it has been given many labels which include, Dark Ages, Golden Age, Feudalism, and the Age of Faith.

In this poem, De la Cruz speaks of a lover escapes from her house in order to meet with her beloved. At first glance, it can be interpreted as a carnal love, but symbolically…

The Roman Catholic Church experienced a major split in the early 16th century. Humanism, which expanded the power of writing and reasoning beyond religious scholars, along with the consequences of plagues and wars, and the secular involvement and corruption of the Church led many to lose credibility in the what-was-then-current establishment of Christianity.

Those in the Counter Reformation took every step to show how art could…
