Definition and purpose of the Reformation
- The Reformation is presented as a movement to reform the Roman Catholic Church because of excesses and corruption.

Key figure: Martin Luther

- On October 31, 1517, he nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany.
- Luther’s central complaints:
- The church’s wrongdoings, especially indulgences
- Luther’s core teachings:
- Salvation cannot be bought
- Faith must be based on the Bible, not wealth/power or church authority as an intermediary
- People can communicate with God directly, so priests are not necessary as intermediaries
- Scripture should be accessible—he supported translating the Bible into German
- Church and authority response:
- Pope Leo declared Luther a heretic
- Luther was rejected through excommunication
- Luther before political power:
- Emperor Charles V summoned him to the Diet of Worms (1521) to retract his position
