HumanismÕs Contribution To The Reformation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the role of humanistic thought in the Reformation. Many believe 'humanism' to be an arrogance embodied in an attitude that reflects the 1970s attitude of the 'IÕm OK, youÕre OK' ilk. Most of those would be incredulous to learn that humanism, far from being an arrogance of single human worth, was as a movement and attitude of believing that humans could be far more than they had been until the time toward the end of the Dark Ages. We know today that there are factions that agree only on few items aside from the basics of Christianity (i.e., Jesus is GodÕs Son), but todayÕs Christianity is largely based on the humanism that helped drive the Reformation more than 400 years ago.
