Reformation: Religious, Political and Social Consequences for Western Society
Journal Title: Journal of Islamic Thought and Civilization (JITC) - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Reformation was a theological movement in 16th century Europe to reform the Catholic Christianity. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli questioned the authority of dogma and supremacy of the pope in Rome. This led to the formation of hundreds of sects in Western Christianity. Salvation was sought outside the church. Consequently, church was excluded from the cultural life of Western societies. Reformation also gradually established the role of political authority in religious matters.
