The 16th century European Protestant Reformation represents a watershed in the history western civilization—so much so that some scholars view this movement as the precursor to the modern world. In the words of one historian, “To people of all nationalities the first Protestants bequeathed in spite of themselves a heritage of spiritual freedom and equality, the consequences of which are still working themselves out in the world today.” In this wide-ranging lecture I will discuss the world of the Reformation, examining not only religious issues but the social and cultural consequences of the Protestant movement.
