The Reformation was a significant religious movement in the 16th century that sought to address perceived corruptions within the Catholic Church. It began with figures like Martin Luther, who challenged church practices, notably the sale of indulgences. Luther's 95 Theses, posted in 1517, sparked widespread debate and led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations. The Reformation emphasized the importance of Scripture, faith, and personal relationship with God, contrasting sharply with the Church's tradition of clerical authority. Other key figures, such as John Calvin and Huldrych Zwingli, contributed to its development, promoting ideas of predestination and a simplified worship style. The movement not only transformed religious institutions but also had profound social, political, and cultural impacts across Europe, laying the groundwork for modern Western thought and the rise of individualism.
