Reformation: Teachings
built 643 days ago
Portrait of Philipp Melanchthon, by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Oil on panel. The Reformation did not happen in a vacuum, as there were movements for centuries calling for a return to Biblical teachings, the most famous being from Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and the Waldensians. It is no surprise that their teachings were later found in the Reformation, as they imbibed from the same source.
The Reformation is a three-piece rock band that lives in Seattle, playing tightly focused pop-centered indie rock, spanning a wide range of feeling. Influences include No Knife, Carissa's Wierd, Pinback, Third Eye Blind, The Shins, Appleseed Cast, Planes Mistaken For Stars, early Foo Fighters, and ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.
The Reformation would have been revolutionary enough of itself, but it coincided in time with the opening of the Western Hemisphere to the Europeans and the development of firearms as effective field weapons. It coincided, too, with the spread of Renaissance ideals from Italy and the first stirrings of the Scientific Revolution. Taken together, these developments transformed Europe.

Though quite different in terms of attitude, lifestyle and focus, Humanism and Renaissance provided an important framework for biblical studies that were to become essential for the Reformation. Humanism as a new intellectual movement came from Italy. Centers of the humanistic movement were Venice, Florence, Milan, Ferrara and Rome. Towards the end of the 14th century the eastern part of the Roman Empire came under pressure by the Arabs. Scholars, philosophers and poets emigrated from Constantinople to Italy and took libraries full of books with them - greek books that had been forgotten in Western Europe after Germanic tribes had set an end to the western part of the Roman Empire around 400 A.D.
