Chapter 15: pg 719-739

Chapter 15 :

Europeans were the major reason for the Protestant Reformation and this event drastically changed the Roman Catholic Church. After Martin Luther created the Ninety Five Theses, he challenged the Catholic Church of Catechism and stated that good works couldn't get you to heaven and that neither would the sacraments. It was based upon more than that. Therefore, Luther opened up a whole new world of Christianity. Christianity spread quickly and this was a lot due to the invention of the Printing Press. Christianity was now throughout Asia, Africa, and Native Americans and it gave a different "modern scientific outlook" amongst the world. Missionaries were additionally people who infectiously taught the message to other societies. After this point, Christianity was no longer just in Europe, it now became a world religion. However, it still had competition with other huge religions such as Hinduism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
