Reforming Christianity The Reformation....
What does the Reformation mean to you? Ancient History? Something to do with Henry VIII? The period of soul-searching and challenge to authority which swept Europe 500 years ago heralded radical and sweeping changes to religion, culture and politics.
What does this 500 year-old conflict mean to pupils and how can we bring the huge impact of the Reformation to life in the classroom?
2017 marks 500 years since Martin Luther, a devoted monk, publicly challenged the Church. His protest unleashed a chain of events that eventually broke apart a thousand years of Church tradition and heralded brutal sectarian conflict in Europe, as well as allowed many new ways to live a Christian life to flourish.
Supportive and classroom-ready, these lessons explore key historical and religious moments and movements, to support pupils’ deeper understanding of Christian belief and practice.
They cover questions such as:
How does change happen in religion?
Who can hear God’s words?
What does it take to stand up to authority?
They are FREE to download. Please click on the title of the lesson heading below to download these.
