Tetzel: "Indulgences will save your soul, so you won't suffer in purgatory." Luther: " What do you mean, they will save your soul? All the money collected is just part of a scam, for the people don't even know they're being saved." Tetzel: " The Pope is saying these indulgences will save your soul, are you saying you don't believe in the authority of the Pope?" Luther: " As I have said before, ' the Pope has neither the will nor the power to remit any penalties'. Also, the bible has never said…

Peasant Rebellion During the years of 1524- 1525, peasants who resided in parts of central and southern Germany revolted against the lords and princes in which had long governed their lives. Peasants who lived during the 1500s were devoid of rights; they were forced to labor on the fields of their lords, while being underpaid and undernourished.

The process Plato describes in the “Allegory of the Cave” is applicable to Luther and Calvin’s process to obtaining knowledge. In Luther and Calvin’s case, the shadows the prisoners see in the cave, are the Roman Catholic teachings.

When the prisoner is exposed directly to the Bible, he will be liberated from knowing only the Roman Catholic teachings, and start to build his own perspective on the…

Throughout To the Christian Nobility of the…

The 95 theses were just 95 things that Martin Luther didn’t like about the church. Martin became a teacher and a believer after going from town to town one day and lighting struck hit a tree then he believed god saved him so he became a believer. I think he wrote the 95 Theses cause he was tired of the church doing what they want to do an not pleasing god like a church is suppose to do. The 95 Theses were bad things that the church did. The way coach glass explains this it seems like the…

The reformation was a period that would significantly alter the role religion played, not only during its occurance, but for many centuries to come. The reformation occured during the 16th Century. It created a schism within the Roman Catholic Church to create different groups of Christians, not connected to the Roman Catholic Church or the Pope. This led to the English establish the Church of England, which is considered the "Middle way" between Catholicism and Calvanism. This was credited to…

After completing the religion tests, my results concluded that my beliefs matched with the Conservative Christian/Protestant. This religion originated during the 16th century, however, the idea began in 1517. Martin Luther, whose life began in Germany was a priest of the Roman Catholic church who challenged the beliefs of the church during 1517.
