It was the 16th century, a time when change was on the horizon. For one thousand years, the Roman Catholic Church had been in charge of Europe and of the theology in Europe. Internal changes, such as the age of Discovery, the Scientific Revolution, and the advent of the printing press all brought about a revolutionary change to Christianity. It was during this time that one remarkable monk, Martin Luther, posted his ninety-five theses, a scathing indictment of the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church. He wanted to reform the church, but created a new denomination instead.

Jarrod Markley Elizabeth Williams History 1623 February 7, 2013 Europe’s Cultural Movements Between 1500 and 1800, Europe went through three great cultural movements: the Protestant Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment. This essay will be comparing and contrasting the Protestant Reformation and the Scientific Revolution. Lets start with the Protestant Reformation. It began in the second decade of the sixteenth century in the cities of Germany and Switzerland.

The Protestant Reformation was the schism within Western Christianity initiated by John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other earlyProtestants. It was sparked by the 1517 posting of Luther's Ninety-Five Theses. The efforts of the self-described "reformers", who objected to ("protested") the doctrines, rituals, leadership, and ecclesiastical structure of the Roman Catholic Church, led to the creation of new national Protestant churches. The Reformation was precipitated by earlier events within Europe, such as the Black Death and the Western Schism, which eroded people's faith in the Catholic Church and the Papacy that governed it. This, as well as many other factors, such as the spread of Renaissance ideas, the spread of the printing
