課程介紹

Embark on a journey through the pivotal period of the Reformation, spanning roughly the 16th and 17th centuries. This era represents a monumental shift in Christian thought, practice, and the very fabric of European society, driven by a profound return to biblical authority and a renewed understanding of God's grace. We will approach this study with an understanding of God's sovereign hand at work, guiding His Church through a period of intense theological debate, social upheaval, and spiritual renewal.

This lesson will guide you through the key figures, movements, and theological views that defined the Reformation, with a particular focus on the English and Scottish Reformations, and the distinct traditions of Lutheranism and Reformed theology.

What You'll Learn & Explore:

We'll tailor our sessions to your interests and specific learning goals, but common topics covered in this transformative period include:

    • The spread of Lutheranism in Germany and Scandinavia.

    • Key Lutheran theological views and their distinct characteristics.

  • The Reformed Tradition:

    • Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin: Their lives, theological contributions, and the development of Reformed thought in Switzerland.

    • The role of the Scottish Parliament and the Covenanters.

Our sessions are interactive, discussion-based, and designed to bring this dynamic historical period to life, always grounded in a biblically informed perspective:

  • Addressing Your Questions: This is an open space to discuss any aspects of the Reformation that particularly interest or challenge you, including its relevance to contemporary faith and practice.

  • Personalized Learning: We'll adjust the pace and depth of discussion based on your prior knowledge and specific areas of interest (e.g., focusing more on the English Reformation, or the nuances of Reformed theology).

  • Resource Suggestions: I can recommend further reading, academic articles, or historical documents to deepen your understanding.
