Major changes occurring…..
 Who is Martin Luther?
 What role did he play in changing the
course of history?
Why do you believe his movement had such
the impact and effect it did?
Revolution and Reformation
• 1517: Martin Luther develops
and proclaims his 95 Thesis
which claims that eternal
salvation is a gift from God,
not earned through good
deeds.
• Attraction to many over
Europe (Faced persecution
from Catholics)
• 1533: John Calvin takes
Lutheranism to a new level
where in he preaches that God
has chosen a small percentage
to salvation and the rest are
condemned. (Predestination)
So, we know of the Spanish and now
the French. What about the English?
• Sit back…..here is a short overview of how the
Reformation changed not only the view on
religion, but changed a little island nation for
ever.
