Why are we so fascinated with the reformations? The very word "reformation" is shrouded incompatible, bringing in your thoughts new beginnings, partisan chapel politics, and the dawn of a modern world perspective. Indeed, when you hear it, you almost certainly think of an individual event - Martin Luther placing The Ninety-Five Theses on the door of Castle Chapel in Wittenberg in 1517. The reality, however, is a lot more nuanced - and interesting - than that. Be a part of award-winning historian, Prof. Christopher M. Bellitto, PhD, in The Reformations, a remarkable journey through Chapel record. Through 12 music lectures, you will uncover multiple Protestant and Catholic reformations before and after Luther and the Council of Trent. Discover not only spiritual movements, but also the political, social, monetary, and ethnic contexts of generations that changed the entire world. You will start by looking at the reformations in a broad European and even global perspective. Next, you will observe the Roman Catholic Chapel as it encountered the Avignon papacy and then the Great European Schism, when two and then even three popes competed for supremacy. You will then explore the theological questions lifted by such results as Erasmus, Luther, John Calvin, and Henry VIII, considering the variety of ensuing Protestant reforms. Finally, you will see how spiritual wars transformed European countries and how Roman Catholicism rebounded. The Reformations is an educational and engaging course that will give you invaluable insight into the lessons and legacies of the reformations. You do not want to miss this fascinating learning experience.
