About

The Refromation, was an era all Christians should know about.  We live in an age that was defined, created an sustained by the ideas and the men and women of the Reformation.  From Liberal  values to indivdual liberaty, from pubic education to secular sphere of public life the Reformation created the modern era.  Almost nothing we know about the modern era, from the englightment to political revolution would have happened without the Reformation and was not rooted deeply in the Reformation.  Even the very nature of the Christianity was transformed by the Reformation the nature and practice of the Roman Catholic church transformed and the various denominations of the Protestant church were created in the Reformation.  Even the Orthodox churches of the East were affected and touched by the Reformation.  If you do not know for sure why the Reformation was important then you do not understand the age that we live.  As Christians we need to understand the Reformation and take in the ideas that have shook the world for the last five centuries.
