Homework: Martin Luther Project
The Catholic Church was the only church in Medieval Europe
The Bible was only to be read by Priests or Bishops
Church Services were only in Latin.
If you went on a Crusade or a Pilgrimage you could earn time out of Purgatory
You could buy a special letter from the Pope called an Indulgence which was like a get out of jail for free card but for Purgatory
Prior to the Reformation most Christians were Roman Catholic
The [REFORM]ation was an attempt to REFORM the Catholic Church
People like Martin Luther wanted to get rid of the corruption and restore the people’s faith in the church
In the end the reformers, like Luther, established their own religions
The Reformation caused a split in Christianity with the formation of these new Protestant religions
100 Years War and Black Death
Scientific Advances which contradicted the Church
The Corruption within the Catholic Church
Indulgences-The selling of Documents for the Forgiveness of Sins
Lived from 1483-1546 in Germany
Father encouraged him to study law
A sudden religious experience inspired him to become a monk.
Martin Luther was a monk and all monks lives were revolved around community work, prayer, rest, and work in the monastery.
A doctor of theology at the University of Wittenburg, Germany
Luther argues that faith alone saves the human sinner
In 1517, he nails his Ninety-Five Theses, which confronts the church and call for reform, on the door of the Wittenburg cathedral.
Luther rejects all but two of the sacraments, baptism and holy communion.
He became troubled over the possibility of not going to heaven
He turned to the Bible, and confession for comfort
In the Bible he found the answer he was looking for
*The Church is wrong to sell indulgencies which buy time out of Purgatory.
*People should read the Bible in your own language and not Latin.
“The righteous shall by his faith.”
Luther realized that only faith (in the ultimate goodness of Jesus), not good deeds, could save a person. No good works, rituals, etc. would save a person if they did not believe.
A list of things he thought were wrong with the Catholic Church (95 Complaints)
He criticized:
The Power of the Pope
The Extreme Wealth of the Church
Indulgences (Catholic concept of Salvation)
Gutenberg’s Printing Press made it possible for Luther to spread his beliefs
Posted his 95 Theses on Church doors in Germany
Gained support from people and criticism from Church
•The first thing printed on Gutenberg’s press was the Bible.
•This is a picture of a page from one of Gutenberg’s Bibles.
1520 Pope Leo X order Luther to give up his beliefs
The Diet of WormsLuther burned the order and was excommunicated
Luther went into hiding where he translated the New Testament into German – spreading his beliefs even further
Some Local German Churches accepted Luther’s ideas
Lutheranism was formed
Supported by German Princes who issued a formal “protest” against the Church for suppressing the reforms
The reformers came to be known as [PROTEST]ants - Protestants
“May little chickens dig out your eyes 100,000 times.”
- Calvin speaking to another reformer whose ideas he disagreed with
Anti-Catholic
Influenced by Martin Luther
Disagreed with Luther’s “Salvation through faith alone.”
Created his own Protestant religion in Switzerland
Calvin believed in:
Salvation through Predestination
At birth it is decided if you will go to heaven or hell
Foreknowledge
God knows everything that will happen in your life
Purified approach to life:
No drinking, swearing, card playing, gambling etc..
