Reformation in Switzerland

God is the creator of all humanity, at least that’s one thing Rationalists and Puritans agree on. Rationalism and Puritanism use a lot of similar techniques, however, they are two very contrasting forms of literary movements. Throughout history Puritan beliefs have been focused on christian ideals and customs and have been centered mainly around God and Christianity. While Rationalism has been mainly focused on humanity and it’s impact on God rather than God’s impact on humanity. However, both…

The Protestant Reformation is a religious movement that began with a conflict between the Latin Catholic church and the Lutheran church and their followers. The two had different views in their theology. This happened during a time period in the early 16th century which lasted until the end of the 18th century. The Latin Catholics controlled the people choices including religious and political views. The Latin Catholics engaged in plenty wrong doing from gambling, breaking the rules of celibacy…

Luther’s understanding of spiritual and temporal authorities in 1523 is still prominent in the modern day government. Luther believed the bureaucratic leadership is a way to maintain order in a chaotic and sinful world even though Luther realized the state could also be dictatorial. Limits to the state are necessary for fear that the secular political power will persecute the faith. Luther stated the idea that Christian’s should not have temporal authority or law since they can rule themselves…

age. Much like Luther, Skinner was born with the capacity to lead introduced to him by his parents and fictive kin. Martin Luther and B. F. Skinner have their differences, but they both pioneered their fields of study—Luther with the Protestant Reformation, and Skinner with behaviorism.

Two interesting figures that I have come across during my readings were the reformer Luther and the monk Pelagius. Each one held their own opinion in regard to the Christian faith, and they would not yield easily to the beliefs of others. What struck me most about Luther was his extreme focus on having faith in God, and his lack of concern for people performing good deeds. As for Pelagius, he has an intriguing take on original sin and on the choices that humans make through the power of free…

However, these Christians, or Puritans, were frustrated with the slow progress of the Protestant Reformation. Some Puritans believed only the “visible saints” were allowed to be members of the church, and they were extremely upset when the king allowed both the saints and the “damned” to be in the church. A few Puritans, finally having enough with the Protestant Reformation, decided to break away from the Church of England entirely, so starting in 1608, these few groups of Puritans,…

There are many historians who have differing views regarding the First Crusade in 1095 C.E. Popular questions that tend to arise with this topic are what initially caused the Crusade? What factors led to their successes and failures? How did the Crusades effect areas of Europe and the Middle East? Different historical perspectives attempt to answer these lingering questions with factual representation. In 1059 C.E., a priest by the name of Fulcher of Chartres was emitted for the First Crusade…

I will be discussing ‘The Petition of the Nobles’ and the ‘Defense of William of Orange’. ‘The Petition of the Nobles’ was brought forth by a group of nobles who objected the laws against Protestantism and the unjust sentences passed down upon them by Phillip the King of Spain. The ‘Defense of William of Orange’ was written by William after Phillip II called for his elimination by assassination in ‘The Proscription of William the Silent’ (March 1580) due to his role in being the leader in the…
