Before Martin Luther's 95 Theses sparked the Reformation, other attempts had been made to correct what were seen as abuses and false teachings of the Catholic Church. The Paulicians and Waldensians had advocated reform while the Cathars separated themselves completely from the Church. The two best-known proto-Reformers, however, are the English the...
Luther had no intention of breaking with the Church and establishing a new vision of Christianity in 1517. He was a Catholic priest and theologian whose 95 Theses were written as an invitation to debate the subject of indulgences, which he claimed were unbiblical. The 95 Theses were published and translated by his followers, whose support encourage...

Although male reformers have been highlighted by historians for centuries, many women contributed significantly to the Reformation, especially in the early years, as they saw in the 'new teachings' hope for an equal voice in public affairs and greater autonomy. Among the best-known are Katharina von Bora (l. 1499-1552), wife of Martin Luther; Argul...
The Reformation succeeded, while earlier efforts at reform had failed, primarily because of the invention of the printing press c. 1440. Wycliffe and Hus made many of the same points later articulated by reformers but lacked the technology to share their views with a wider audience. Martin Luther's 95 Theses were popularized through print, as were ...
The Counter-Reformation (also known as the Catholic Reformation, 1545 to c. 1700) was the Catholic Church's response to the Protestant Reformation during which it instituted reforms while also making an effort to restore its former centrality. One aspect of these efforts was an emphasis on art, architecture, and music which would elevate the minds ...
Although Luther himself would have rejected the modern-day concept of democracy, the movement he set in motion encouraged democratic ideals. Luther's own works contributed to the German Peasants' War in which the lowest class fought for equal rights and representation in government, and the reformers who followed Luther encouraged the same. The Swi...
Although the dates of the Protestant Reformation are generally understood as 1517-1648, there is no universal scholarly consensus on this, and some scholars advocate for a different dating. There are some scholars who claim the event should be dated from the time of Jan Hus' activism to the pre-industrial era (1400-1750) or from Martin Luther's 95 ...
The Protestant Reformation broke the unity and authority of the Catholic Church, creating a plurality in Christianity that did not exist before. Although there had been so-called 'heresies' that challenged the authority of the Church earlier, these were crushed, and the Church's primacy was always maintained. Renaissance concepts of humanism, which...
