What was the first important act in what became known as the Protestant Reformation?
In many ways the period of history known as the Protestant Reformation could be viewed as a
second Axial Age (apologies to Karl Jaspers). Stemming from the European Renaissance, the
rise of Humanism and political and scientific growth this period in religious history marked a
decrease in the central authority and power of the Catholic Church, or more correctly the Latin
Church. It was the first of the clashes with Islam which took place outside the Holy Lands and a
time when explorers pushed the boundaries of what constituted the known world. In many ways
it was to quote Dickens, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." And as THOMAS PAINE, not Patrick Henry, would say over two hundred years later and in a very different context, it was a time "that tries men‟s souls." Before I move too deeply into the Reformation allow me to present a timeline which covers the highlights for a variety of people and events of this age of great change.
