Document 1

The Protestant Reformation, initiated by Martin Luther's 95 Theses, challenged the Catholic Church's teachings and practices, especially the sale of indulgences. Luther's teachings emphasized the importance of faith and the Bible, rejecting the authority of the Pope and the Church's sacraments. This movement led to the formation of various Protestant denominations and had a significant impact on European history, leading to religious wars, political changes, and the rise of modern capitalism. The Reformation questioned traditional authorities and promoted ideas of individual faith and merit, leading to a shift in religious, social, and political structures across Europe.

Adapted from Luther and the Protestant Reformation, Section on Martin Luther.
