Description
The Protestant Reformation and the Catholic or Counter-Reformation form the main topic of this book, the seventh in the series. In the sixteenth century, abuses in the Church demanded correction. The religious revolution began in earnest in 1517, sparked by Martin Luther, a German Augustinian monk. Other great leaders, especially John Calvin, spread Protestant ideas; religious differences spread throughout Europe, leading to deep divisions. The modern world began with these unhappy divisions, but it began also with that serious seeking for God which is a noble inheritance left by Luther and his contemporaries.
