Introduction to History: European Reformations
HIST 174
Fall 2021 not offered

An introduction to history course, European Reformations will provide an introduction to the concepts and tools for reading, writing, and enjoying history by examining the ideas and people who developed the Protestant Reformation, one of the most explosive changes in world history that continues to reverberate and affect lives and politics today. Centering on the ideas and politics of the European Reformation age, we will examine thinkers and problems within Catholic Europe that led to the crisis of the Reformation from around 1500. A focus on the ideas and actions of figures such as Luther and Calvin and the religious martyrs of the 16th century will be central, but we will also examine Catholic responses and the changing political and legal ideas that the Reformation produced.
