Reformation was a movement for reforming the Catholic Church and it led to the creation of Protestant Churches as well as serious social and political changes.
It began with Martin Luther. He was a monk and a professor at Wittenberg, Germany. He was dissatisfied with traditional church theology and came to a conclusion that salvation was possible only by faith alone. He protested against the idea that salvation was something that could be bought and sold for money. He protested against indulgences (selling pardons for sins) and other church abuses in his 95-point theses which he nailed on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in 1517.
After he had been condemned for heresy, he translated The Bible into German and began to organise a new church. It was called Lutheran Church after him. Lutheranism quickly spread in the German states, France and elsewhere in Europe. Another leader of Reformation was John Calvin. He started his new church in Geneva, Switzerland. Calvinists believed that it was their responsibility to change society morally, introduced strict discipline and created the idea of predestination.
