What impact did the reformation have on the government of England?

what ideas did Luther bring to religion ?

• Rules for church government, as well as salvation, could be found in the bible

• The christian monarchy or godly ruler had the power and responsibility of interpreting and enforcing them

the bible was part History, part mythology, part poetry so what happened to protestant ideas

It meant that the bible was often unclear an contradictory and men and women who believed that their salvation depended on it,ideas soon began to develop in different ways

how far did Elizabeth’s middle way improve religious tensions in England?

She tried to defuse religious tension

• She tried to please catholics and protestants

• Majority of people on board however extremists (recusants and puritans) don’t follow

why was religious confusion common ?

the constant change between catholicism and protestantism would make more people confused on what to believe to get to the after life
