Religion In The Postmodern Era

“Religion in the Post Modern Era” The introduction of understanding religion in the postmodern era is to realize the attribute of God that refers to being wholly also distinctly separate from creation, although always actively involved in also with it as well. It is a journey which will take us from God is the center of life to being replaced by man. In other words, reflecting on the notes of Church History by Dr. Archie Logan, the persecution of Christians in the early church was a constant battle, as well as in the church today. Christians have been harassed constantly for their faith, which leads me to the Book of Psalm 119:86, “All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for men persecute me without cause (NIV).” The Christians
Nonetheless, the fourth century was significant in the development of the Christian church. And yet, this is one period that memorable changes occurred that will always stand out as major events in the history of God’s people. There were key transitions also key differences made in the state also society during this era. Therefore, if understanding correctly, the Empire persecutes the church; the church went through “The Great Persecution” designed to wipe out the church that didn’t happen. Otherwise, the Empire tolerated the church, giving it legal status. As a result, the Empire challenges the church also Paganism went down fighting and couldn’t be reestablished. And still, Christianity was legal for the state religion under the Emperor Theodosius.

Under these circumstances, the points to remember in the importance of the Reformation, is reformation was in opposition to the authority of the Pope, the church also those that opposed Catholicism (Protestants). However, through the reformation the church relished total supremacy, regulating literary and artistic developments. Therefore, the key point is the blind faith in the church that lead to modern times (Gonzalez 119-123). The Middle Ages was ending and the modern era was surly on the way. In fact, important documents also events began to spring out such as the 95 Theses, Anabaptists/Radical Reformation, Jesuits, also the Westminster Confession, Therefore, to summarize The Reformation, it is essential to mention those that were influential to this movement; Martin Luther, who brought attention to doctrines and culture of the Lutheran also Protestants traditions; call the church to return to the teachings of the Bible leading to new change within Christianity along with many other accomplishments (Gonzalez 17-470). Huldreich Zwingli (Gonzalez 55-224), John Calvin (Gonzalez 67-459), Theodore Beza (84, 229), John Knox (Gonzalez 87, 100-104), John Huss (466) are other theologians that were involved in this movement. All having an amazing role toward religion in the Post Modern
