Modern European History: The Reformation
|
|
|
|
I believe the statement "The reformation was a rejection of the
|
|
secular spirit of the Italian Renaissance" is false because in the long
|
|
term of European history, the reformation was able to create a more
|
|
humanistic view of the world than that of the Renaissance humanism. There
|
|
are three major changes and philosophies that the Protestants of the
|
|
reformation incorporated which led to the long term advancement of
|
|
Humanism. These are the beginnings of "free thought" away church dogma,
|
|
the development of Capitalism, and the questioning of religious and
|
|
Governmental authorities.
|
|
|
|
Before Martin Luther's reformation the church dictated how Christians
|
|
teachings should be interpreted, even the reading of the bible was
|
|
discouraged. There also was the "indulgences" issued by the clergy, which
|
|
was in essence a "passport to heaven". This out-raged some people like
|
|
Martin Luther who stressed an individual interpretation of the bible, in
|
|
books like Freedom of a Christian, stressing salvation by faith alone.
|
|
This first division of the church in to Protestant caused many more
|
|
religious groups to form on each interpretation of the bible.
|
|
|
|
The next important long-term change, Capitalism stemmed from
|
|
Calvinism. Calvinism was a religious movement which believed in the
|
|
individuals responsibility to reorganize society according to "God's plan".
|
|
Max Weber, the famous German sociologist, in his study The Protestant Ethic
|
|
and the Spirit of Capitalism, argued that these ideas led to the
|
|
development of Capitalism. Secular life was able to develop in this
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
The last important change came from thee many people who were not
|
|
satisfied with the existing forms of Government and religious authority.
|
|
Clergy and royalty were believed to be intermediaries between God and the
|
|
common person. This meant the a king could say God told him anything and
|
|
it must be accepted. Martin Luther and many other of the early Protestants
|
|
became objects of protest for the groups not satisfied. In 1525 many of
|
|
Martin Luther's followers revolted against the German nobility. These
|
|
protestants wrote "We...take it for granted that you will release us from
|
|
serfdom as true Christians". This was the ultimate refutation that led to
|
|
the reformation.
|
|
|
|
All of this change, from the reformation the entire way of religious
|
|
thought changed. At first, the Protestant Reformation did reject the
|
|
secular spirit, but in the long term, the revolting caused individual
|
|
thought leading the great changes I described in this essay. The
|
|
Protestant Reformation was a major building block of history, and some
|
|
would say our country.
