Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation
The Protestant Reformation was a religious reform movement that swept through Europe in the 1500s. It resulted in the creation of a branch of Christianity called Protestantism, a name used collectively to refer to the many religious groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church due to differences in doctrine. Gain deeper insights into the rise of Protestantism and the influence of such people as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and King James. Learn why they wanted to reform the church of their day and the response of the Catholic Church.
