They both agreed, along with many other Protestants, that the selling of indulgences needs to stop, along with simony and pluralism. Protestantism spread throughout Europe,…

In Lyndal Roper’s Martin Luther: Renegade and Prophet, Roper attempts to gain not an understanding of the Protestant Reformation as a whole, but rather of Martin Luther as a person. She spends most of the book examining Luther specifically, the decisions he made and why he made them. She examines his publications and letters to attempt to find out what exactly makes the man tick. Such can be seen here “Luther’s letter writing habits offered perhaps the most intriguing insights.” It is obvious…

The horrors and aftermath of World War I shook European Protestantism to its core. The promises and hopes of Protestant liberalism seen in the nineteenth century evaporated as Europe, seen as the cradle of Christendom, moved beyond Christendom. In this gap, what were once strongholds of Protestantism such as Germany, Scandinavia, and Great Britain witnessed a rise in secularism and skepticism. The theological response to the rise of secularism is seen in the work of Karl Barth, the son of a…

(Maurice Duplessis in the election in 1952 campaigning) Maurice Duplessis and the Great Darkness (1944-1959) Maurice Duplessis was Premier of Quebec from 1944-1959 and led the Union Nationale political party. He was a Quebec nationalist and believed that Quebec should be a distinctive society, that it should be a nation instead of a Canadian province. Soon Duplessis created a new flag just for Quebec that had the fleur-de-lys, which, was a French symbol. This pushed Canadians apart because soon…

In the first amendment out founding fathers clearly demonstrated their opposition to the intermingling of politics and religion by establishing the separation of church and state. While this was not the only cause, the separation led to a series of religious revivals in the United States from the 1790s and into the 1830s. The Second Great Awakening was a Christian revival movement during the early 19th century. Its primary focus was to create social reform that led to a period of antebellum…

Most people say it’s not person who are the change of the view of the people because any other person could have done that action. I say the person is more important. Why?

No they would be called whatever the person who stood up to the church’s name would most likely be. But, because of Luther the…
