  4. What ideas led to the Reformation? • Humanism • Anger over the selling of indulgences- (a pardon from the Church for your sins) • The idea that only a belief in Jesus, and not the Pope, is needed to be a “Good Christian”

  5. Desiderius Erasmus • Scholar and clergyman • Wanted to translate the Bible into the vernacular • Wrote that people needed to live good lives, not just attend religious services • People could use their reason to become better Christians

  6. John Calvin • Reformer from France in the 1500s • Calvinism became the basis for many Protestant churches, such as the Puritans and the Presbyterians • Predestination-God has planned everyone’s life • People worked hard to prove they were among the saved • The congregation, not the kings or bishops, choose church leaders • This furthered the idea of political elections

  7. Martin Luther • German Monk 1483-1546 • God’s salvation was a gift from God, not something to be earned by doing good work • Created the 95 Theses, or arguments against indulgences • Was excommunicated from the church

  8. Lutheranism • Faith, not good works lead to salvation • The Bible is the final source of truth, not a church or its ministers • The church is made up of all its believers not just the clergy

  9. Who would do that???? • Martin Luther stood up for his beliefs, even though he offended people. • What cause is worth standing up for even if it offends people?

  10. Denomination • An organized branch of Christianity
