Economic stressIberian Empires • pouring money into Spain• inefficient central administration• money to Rome• economic/geopolitical sniping from
mercantile states
Ottoman expansion• on this side, resisting the Ottomans is
hugely expensive

Political Challenge:Hapsburg Europe coming undone
Why: ascension of England as a world power
period of costly civil war - War of the Roses House of Tudor emerges – Henry VII
Henry VIII (1491-1547) r. 1509money woes, so…m. Catherine of Aragonbut, Pope aligned with Spain

All this, and I have not used the term ‘Reformation’ once,
nor mentioned Martin Luther
![Page 10: And at Home: Europe transformed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813141550346895d97bbc6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Protestant Reformation
• Martin Luther (1483-1546) • money to Rome: Indulgences and taxes
political and moral• wrote Ninety-Five Theses and excommunicated
• ‘Justification by faith alone’
• closure of monasteries• translations of Bible into vernacular• end of priestly authority, especially the Pope
• return to biblical text for authority – education to do so
![Page 11: And at Home: Europe transformed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813141550346895d97bbc6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why not before?
• general, sustained attacks • based on textual criticism
i.e. John Wycliffe (1328-1384)
i.e. ‘Peasant’s Rebellion’ (England, 1381)
• further attacks, related to scholasticism ‘proofs’ not enough
• secular vs. Papal authority and the resulting schisms
Babylonian captivity

Secular Interest in Reform• coalesces with: theological arguments
popular support
• German princes interested
• support for reform spreads throughout Germany
Then,• Switzerland, Low Countries• England: King Henry VIII (r. 1509-1547)
Act of Supremacy• France: John Calvin (1509-1564) • Scotland, Netherlands, Hungary

Popular support
Urban classes• commercial
investors• connected• educated

Why (all) does that matter?
Biblical criticism
![Page 14: And at Home: Europe transformed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813141550346895d97bbc6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The old system worked, but it was clunky
• limited number of people with knowledge could operate
• extremely limited application
![Page 15: And at Home: Europe transformed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813141550346895d97bbc6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
vs.
accessible – appeals to everyone, not just scientists
It is successful because it is about ‘what makes it work’ the operating system and the software
In some ways counterintuitive i.e. pay iTunes vs. free
Transformed culture and practice
![Page 16: And at Home: Europe transformed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813141550346895d97bbc6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Catholic Reformation
Roman Catholic church • refined doctrine • missionary activities • renew spiritual activity
‘Ecstasy of St. Theresa’
Council of Trent (1545-1563) Society of Jesus (Jesuits)
founded by St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556)Roman Catholic Inquisition

names, differences:
Roman Catholic
LutheranCalvinistAnglican
(Church of England)

Along with Reform•witch hunts
•religious wars•secular civil war in France
Molitar (1500), Ferguson
Collection• 1588 Philip II of Spain attacked England • Netherlands rebellion against Spain
The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1645)• all of Europe involved • 1/3 German pop. destroyed• Huguenots flee

Conclusions: • ‘Christendom’ increasingly splintered• unlike China, India, Ottoman Empire
• Europe no single empire, rather individual states• Protestant challenges fitted into state development,
imperialism and resistance
• these beliefs and identities continue to shape our world today
