The Reformation in Perspective: From Luther to the Age of Reason | Church History 109

This overview episode steps back to examine the bigger picture of the Reformation and its impact on Europe. From the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the discovery of the New World to the divisions sparked by the teachings of Martin Luther and John Calvin, medieval Christendom was transformed. The Council of Trent reshaped Roman Catholicism while Protestantism spread into many new movements, ending the long-held dream of a single united church in the West and setting the stage for the coming Age of Reason.

Is it wrong for Christians to point out sin, or is there a biblical way to do it? 50:19 In the book of Job, why did God rebuke Job’s friends when much of what they said sounded theologically correct? 53:41 Why did Jesus curse the fig tree in the Gospels? 54:10 Why does God sometimes change people’s names in the Bible, such as Abram to Abraham or Saul to Paul? 54:43 What does Jesus mean when He says “the last will be first, and the first will be last”? 55:45 Why did Jesus wait several days before going to Lazarus when He knew Lazarus was sick? 56:59 In the Lord’s Prayer, is “give us this day our daily bread” meant literally, figuratively, or both? 57:51 Why does Paul call death “the last enemy” if believers go to be with the Lord after they die? #biblestudy #christianity #jesus #bible #christian #pastor

The Reformation’s Eastern Frontier:Hungary & Poland | Church History 108

This episode concludes our look at the Reformation on the edges of Europe by exploring how Protestant ideas spread into Hungary, Transylvania, and Poland. Amid conflict between the Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire, Lutheran and Reformed movements grew rapidly in Hungary before later Catholic resurgence. In Poland, a climate of unusual religious tolerance allowed Calvinists, Lutherans, and even Unitarians to flourish for a time before Roman Catholicism became closely tied to Polish national identity.
