German Reformation
Led by Martin Luther who was educated by the Brothers of Common Life and joined a monastery. Nails 95 theses against the door of castle church in Wittenberg on 1517. Attacked church saying only two sacraments were biblical, Eucharist and Baptism. He openly attacked pope. Translates New Testament into German.
Diet of Worms- Martin Luther is invited to talk with Charles V and discuss his views, but when Luther shows up he is forced to recant. He leaves by taking his recant back and he goes into hiding.
Reformation grows because Charles V is occupied with fighting French and Turks.
Peasants Revolt takes place where peasants riot against society and try to move up in society, but are all killed. They thought they were doing what Luther said, but there actions were actually condemned by Luther.
Other Reformation
Ulrich Zwingli was the leader of the Swiss reformation. Influenced by Erasmus. Rejected indulgences. Did not support mercenary service. Supported clerical marriage. Zurich, which was his hometown, supported him.
The Marburg Colloquy was a meeting between Zwingli and Luther brought together by Phillip of Hesse, one of the most powerful protestant rulers. They disagree over the Eucharist.
The Tetrapolitan Confession shows Zwingli’s theological views
The Augsburg
