Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The attached Google Forms correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
The Protestant Reformation
The northern European humanists laid the foundation for the Reformation, a religious movement that gained momentum in the 1500s with the aim to reform the Catholic Church. Reformation thinkers changed European society in ways that are still felt today.
As the Reformation spread, the differences between the Catholic Church and the evolving Protestant sects became more striking. Many Protestants rejected the rituals of the Catholic Church. “Communion” in the Catholic Church was often called “The Lord’s Supper” by Protestants. Catholics believed the pope in Rome was the final earthly authority on matters of faith, while Protestants believed God’s word as expressed in the Bible was the final authority.
The Protestant Reformation destroyed the religious unity that had held together medieval Europe. Ordinary people and rulers took sides, leading to a new era of religious conflict and warfare.
