Protestant Reformation One of the greatest/important of all Revolutions I have cast the die…I will not reconcile myself to the Church for all eternity. Let them condemn and burn all that belongs to me; in return I will do the same to them. - Martin Luther, 1520
Origins of the Reformation • The Christian Church needed $ • Perhaps the Renaissance’s progression away from the Church led to this. • Looked for new ways to make money
Beginnings of the Reformation • The Church sold “Indulgences” • Indulgences – Certificates sold by the religious officials to forgive men of their sins, thereby lessening their time in Purgatory • This angered the monk Martin Luther
Martin Luther 1483-1546 German Monk Rough, Boisterous, Stormy, Warlike
Martin Luther • Luther fought Against “indulgences” • Why? • Who did the indulgences have the greatest impact on? • How were they affected? • Wrote “95 Theses” against indulgences
95 Theses – A Firestorm • Posted his 95 Theses on Church doors in Germany • Gutenberg’s Printing Press made it possible for Luther to spread his beliefs further “Printing was God’s highest act of Grace”

Luther the Outlaw • Holy Roman Emperor Charles V • Diet of Worms • “Give up your ideas” or “recant” • Luther did not recant • Created more radical doctrines • Became an outlaw – Illegal for him to receive “food/shelter” • Created “Protestants” – for those who “Protested” the Pope http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHey8fExPxo
Edict of Worms – At the Diet of Worms For this reason we forbid anyone from this time forward to dare, either by words or by deeds, to receive, defend, sustain, or favor the said Martin Luther. On the contrary, we want him to be apprehended and punished as a notorious heretic, as he deserves, to be brought personally before us, or to be securely guarded until those who have captured him inform us, whereupon we will order the appropriate manner of proceeding against the said Luther. Those who will help in his capture will be rewarded generously for their good work.

Newton • The universe could be explained completely through the use of mathematics; mathematical models of the universe were accurate physical descriptions of the universe. • The universe operated in a completely rational and predictable way following the mathematics used to describe the universe; the universe, then, was mechanistic. • One need not appeal to revealed religion or theology to explain any aspect of the physical phenomena of the universe
