THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION: HOW ONE DOCUMENT SPLIT CHRISTIANITY FOREVER

Episode 2 | Human History — Groups & MovementsIn this History episode we focus on the Protestant Reformation — the 1517 act by a theology professor that the printing press turned into a continental revolution, splitting Christianity in two and producing religious wars that killed millions.This episode covers Luther's 95 Theses and his refusal to recant at the Diet of Worms, Calvin's doctrine of predestination and its reach into American culture through the Puritans, the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, the Thirty Years War, and the unintended consequences — literacy, individual conscience, the Scientific Revolution — that the Reformation produced without intending to.The world the Reformation made is the world we still live in.#HistoryMystery #ProtestantReformation #MartinLuther #Christianity #HistoryPodcast
