“When the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs”- Johann Tetzel, Catholic German preacher, c.1517

1. What common practice of the Catholic church does the above quote signify?

Luther preached a message of “justification by faith” based on Biblical scripture. The following is a summary of his teachings taken from an article published in 1537.

The first and chief article is this: Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, died for our sins and was raised again for our justification (Romans 3:24-25). He alone is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29), and God has laid on Him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6). All have sinned and are justified freely, without their own works and merits, by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, in His blood (Romans 3:23-25). This is necessary to believe. This cannot be otherwise acquired or grasped by any work, law or merit. Therefore, it is clear and certain that this faith alone justifies us ... Nothing of this article can be yielded or surrendered, even though heaven and earth and everything else falls (Mark 13:31).

1.      After studying the above quote, what consequences do you think this would have on the Catholic Church and its followers? Why?

John Calvin was a French Protestant theologian during the Protestant Reformation and was a central developer of the system of Christian theology called Calvinism or Reformed theology. The Biblical passages are commonly used to define his teachings.

Ephesians 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Romans 9:15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.

2.      What is the term applied to this theology and what are some clues from the passages that suggest that?

Renaissance

             Do you know the name of this piece of work? 

What is the artist trying to portray?

 How does this show the ideas of the Renaissance?

What are the “isms” of the Renaissance?  (Hint: there are 4)

Absolutism 

King Louis XIV is quoted as saying “L’etat, c’est moi,” or “I am the state,” believing he was the only one responsible for governing France.

How did the King of France justify his power?

Where is this cartoon taking place?  What is it portraying?

 

Identify the author of the quote and try to interpret what it means. Quotes 1 &2 are by the same author.  Quotes 3-5 are by the same author.

 

1.      “Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.”

2.      -“I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavor to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God.”

3.      “The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.”

4.      “The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.”

5.       “I must altogether abandon the false opinion that the sun is the center of the world and immovable, and that the earth is not the center of the world, and moves, and that I must not hold, defend, or teach in any way whatsoever, verbally or in writing, the said false doctrine, and after it had been notified to me that the said doctrine was contrary to Holy Scripture.”

6.      “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
