Five Capitals

churches were abiding by and wanted to bring change by identifying these flaws. The lecture presented by Dr. Hollmann in the Oasis art gallery focuses mainly around the significant importance of Martin Luther and his teachings, also know as the ninety five thesis. Luther proposes the Bible as the only source that reveals knowledge of God and his teachings. One does not need to be a priest to serve God, one can serve God from the comfort of their home. Luther strongly agrees with this message…

The reformation was a 16th century movement that aimed to reconstruct the church. At all levels of European society could be found dissatisfaction with the church. The major issues regarded how the church constituted their authority. The church’s emphasis on ritual was growing to be unhelpful. Christians craved a more personal experience with their faith. The popes and bishops were power hungry. They were acting more like kings and princes than they were as guides for the people. It was clear…

Martin Luther was born in Germany, in 1483, and spend his early days with an interest in monastic life. However, his father had plans for Martin Luther to study law in the University of Erfurt, where he obtained a master’s degree in theology (1505). In July of that same year, Martin was caught in a violent thunderstorm, where a bolt of lightning nearly struck him down. He believed that this was a sign from god, and vowed that he would become a monk if he survived the storm. When the storm…

By the end of the 15th century, the Catholic Church had well established its authority in Europe, the ties with economic, social, and political power lead to a grasp on modern life. Up until this point, no one dared to question the teachings of the Church. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the Wittenberg’s All Saints Church door proclaiming his views about the absurdity that is buying indulgences to exonerate sin (Cole, 343). The radical act of placing ideas that…

It is early in the sixteenth century. People across Europe are frustrated and discontent. The religious and social institutions of the era are in a state of decay and corruption. Amid this environment, a new religious movement starts that is known today as the Protestant Reformation. This movement’s aim is to correct the errors and abuses of the Roman Catholic Church (Jacobs 404). One of the movement’s most prominent leaders, Martin Luther, makes this aim his life goal. This man’s life,…

Benjamin Franklin once said "He that cannot obey cannot command." By this, he meant that a good leader should first learn how to follow orders in order to be successful. Perhaps this is how we decide whether or not a person is a good leader, by assessing his or her ability to obey commands. Or maybe it depends on how we define the word "leader." Either way, some people believe that Franklin's quote holds true, but I disagree. I believe that a truly great leader is someone who questions authority…

on how others portray time. In Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut wants us to understand that time is an illusion. This is similar to The Twilight Zone, “Back There” by Rod Serling because in this episode Pete Corrigan also saw time as an illusion. However, “Boy Goes to War” by Max Ritvo is in direct contrast to Vonnegut’s idea about time in Slaughterhouse-Five because reality hits the boy over time. The theme of time in Slaughterhouse-Five and The Twilight Zone, “Back There” are…

a big part in the attempt to reform the Catholic Church. He believed in God’s grace rather than reward based on good deeds. Martin Luther’s most influential accomplishment was the Protestant Reformation, more specifically his Ninety-Five Theses. Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses came about during the time when the church was selling indulgences to help rebuild the church in Rome. Luther did not agree with this and though indulgences should not be sold, or even be done for that…
