DescriptionThis course unit introduces students to the European Reformations of the sixteenth century as a development in history of universal importance. It also introduces students to the leading figures, theological concerns and key events of the period, and helps them to recognise the complexity of interpreting events shaped by differing religious, economic, social and political contexts.
Lecturer's IntroductionIn this course we seek to provide an accurate account of the religious movement known as the “Protestant Reformation”, which divided Christian Europe, and the Catholic Church’s response, the so-called “Counter-Reformation”.
