WH 2-2

Page history last edited by Pam Merrill 3 years, 10 months ago

Oklahoma Academic Standard 2. The student will analyze patterns of social, economic, political, and cultural changes during the rise of Western civilization and the Global Age (1400-1750 CE).

Objective 2.2  Summarize the causes of and influence of the theological movements of the Reformation and how those movements subsequently transformed society.

In a Nutshell

The reforming of the Christian church which empowered followers while decreasing the influence and authority of church officials led to more individualism and challenges to political power. The Reformation, which reduced the power of the Catholic Church and created a competing institution in the Protestant Church, allowed other social and economic entities to increase their power and influence.

Teacher Action 

Student Action 

  • Assist students in analyzing information in order to draw conclusions and defend arguments regarding the causes and effects of the Reformation.

  • Provide opportunities for students to evaluate an author’s point of view, potential bias, and how authors can reach different conclusions regarding the same issue, such as the impact of theological movements in society. 

  • Analyze complex and interacting factors that influence multiple perspectives during the Reformation.

  • Compose argumentative written products, including a precise claim as distinguished from opposing claims, organizing logical reasoning, and providing credible evidence to develop a balanced argument regarding the legacy of the Reformation. 

Key Concepts 

Misconceptions 

  • The Reformation as a reaction to political, economic, intellectual, and abusive religious practices

  • changes occurring outside and inside (counter-reformation) the Church

  • growth of Religious toleration

  • impact of Martin Luther and the 95 Theses

  • religious thought and impact of John Calvin and John Knox

  • immediate and long-term effects of Henry the VIII's establishment of the Anglican Church on both religion and politics

  • Council of Trent and the Inquisition

  • Religious Wars 1555-1648

  • Edict of Nantes and Religious Toleration Act

  • Students often assume that changes in the Christian Church were merely about religious doctrine or practices; when, in fact, reforms were as much about politics and control of government, including the enfranchisement of the common man and its impact on the power of the Church.
