Lesson Instruction: PowerPoint- The Reformation: Martin Luter Slide 1: Need for Reform - Corruption. Popes were more concerned with money and Italian politics than with their spiritual duties. - Sale of Indulgences- release from all or part of the punishment for sin. - Johann Tetzel was the monk most famous for the corrupt sale of indulgences Slide 2: The Beginning: Christian Humanism - Stressed ideas of living good lives on a daily basis-- not on being saved. - Desiderius Erasmus: most famous Christian Humanist of the time. - Wanted reform within the Catholic church, not to break away from it. - "Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched" Slide 3: Luthers Ninety Five Theses - October 31, 1517 - Martin Luther, a monk and professor was very upset at the sale of indulgences and other wrongdoings of the Catholic Church. - Wrote and posted his Ninety-Five Theses (or complaints) against the Church. - Thousands of copies were made and these theses spread throughout Germany. Slide 4: Spread of Lutheranism -Justification by faith alone people are not saved through good works, only through their faith in God. -Bible is the ONLY source of religious truth -Edict of Worms made Martin Luther an outlaw in the Holy Roman Empire, and he was excommunicated in 1521. Slide 5: Peace of Augsburg 1555 - Accepts the division of Christianity in Germany - German states were now allowed to choose whether they were to be Lutheran or Catholic. - Can anyone think of potential problems with this agreement?
