The influence of religion during the Reformation was a manifestation of the conflict of criticism toward the Catholic Church that shaped the events of the age. Although the peasants were primarily motivated towards economic and political justice, the Reformation introduced the German peasants to independent ideas and generated a movement against the nobility, as well as tying into the countermovement of the German peasant revolts of 1524 and 1525. Instead of seeking refuge in feudal authority, the peasants of Germany reflected religious ideas in their revolution by appealing to God’s authority. As the hold of the church's influence over society declined from the conflict of the Reformation, the leaders of the revolts optimized the growing animosity to generate support for the revolts.

The catalyst of the English Reformation was quite different than that which occurred in the European mainland. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and others, driven by theological convictions birthed in the universities, sought moral, spiritual, and theological reform within the Catholic Church; the English Reformation on the other hand, began in state affairs, more specifically with “the problem of succession to the royal throne.” In an effort to keep ties with Spain strong and to retain the widow’s fortune, Henry VII arranged for his son Henry VIII to marry his brother’s widow, Catherine of Aragon. Since Cannon law prohibited such a union, and according to William Warham, Archbishop of Canterbury, “the will of God himself “ was against it, a papal dispensation was secured and Henry VIII was betrothed to Catherine. Soon after, when Henry VI became ill and his queen died, both the nation and king alike wondered if such events were “divine judgment”, leading some to question, “Was it in the pope’s power to permit what God had forbidden?”

The events of the Reformation serves as a reminder how God continues to work with, in, and through us. While in many cases, we hope the Spirit will not divide the Church but it does call into question some of the human laws or doctrines which have been created 10, 50, or 500 years ago. The Reformation reminds us how the Church can continue to reinvent itself and be a Church in 2017 and beyond and not just a Church from 1517 which may not relate to many people today. We as Lutherans and as the Body of Christ are called to let our faith continue to breathe life into the here and now while also honoring but not bound to the traditions passed down to us. What and where the Spirit will lead us is a mystery but is one in which Christ will continue

The Renaissance was a period in European history set apart by a social blossoming. The Renaissance is characterized as the restoration or resurrection of expressions of the human experience. The home of the Renaissance was Italy, with its situation of noticeable quality on the Mediterranean Ocean. Italy was the business capital amongst Europe and Eurasia, amid this day and age, from fourteenth and sixteenth hundreds of years. Painters, stone workers, and designers displayed a comparative feeling of enterprise and the want for more noteworthy information and new arrangements.
The Renaissance was a period of primarily artistic rebirth. It occurred in Italy, a peninsula on the central Mediterranean, which made it a hub and ideal location for trading and ports. This exchange contributed to the economic gain and subsequent economic and financial prosperity of the region. With this economic stability, it can also be inferred that there was time to pursue the arts and other hobbies as the necessities were readily available. The Renaissance followed the Middle Ages, a period during which the Pope and Church held absolute and unquestionable superiority, and resistance and denial guaranteed punishment, to the extent of death in severe circumstances.
The Renaissance is commonly known as a period of rebirth. New ways of thinking and acting were rapidly evolving. It was a time of great challenges and discoveries for the individual. People could share ideas, objects, and skills in so many ways that changed the whole outlook of humanity. For a while, the church told the people what they wanted them to believe.
The five solas of the Reformation were, sola gratia, sola fide, solus Christus, sola Scriptura, and Soli Deo Gloria. Each of the five solas refuted at least one Roman Catholic teaching or doctrine that the Reformers did not find Biblical or true. The five solas of the Reformation were the foundation upon which all other Reformation teachings were based, and all of the Reformers agreed, despite their various other doctrinal differences. Sola gratia, Latin for by grace alone, means that man is saved by God’s grace alone and not by his own works. Paul explains this in detail in Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV): “8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”
