He was a pastor, teacher, and theologian in England who taught that once you were saved, no one or anything can take salvation away from you. He also produced the first Bible in English.

When he was in Germany, he became a monk and studied the scriptures in Greek and Hebrew. He struggled with the fact that he was a sinner so he went to his superiors to forgive his sins.(only Christ can forgive sins) Later in his life, he translated the New Testament and the Old Testament into German. Then, he married a nun and they had 6 children and 4 adopted children.

He was born in Switzerland and he encouraged Erasmus to study the Bible. This man also became a catholic priest but became displeased with the corruption in the church. Through Luther’s writings, he realized that salvation comes from faith in Christ. He soon wrote The 67 Conclusions.

He was born in France (the second most Catholic country in Europe) and became a leading figure in the Reformation. He also ministered from Geneva Switzerland to the hostility of the French government. Then, he wrote the first edition of his Institutes of the Christian Religion.

Luther learned of him selling indulgences and wanted to debate him about the value of them.

Reformers emphasized that people had to come to God individually. When a Christian comes to Christ they become a priest. In other words, you can come to Christ without a priest.

Salvation cannot be earned. It is a gift received by faith.

The reformers pointed out that scripture and tradition often conflicted. God’s word is inspired!

This means to be kicked out of the Catholic church. At first, Luther thought he could reform the catholic church but soon discovered that he could not save the church.

This was written by John Calvin which taught the basics of Christianity so people could live godly lives. When Christians acted wickedly, Calvin would not give them the Lord’s supper.

Luther wrote up a lot of problems with the Catholic church and they were eventually posted on the church doors.

This is what a person is called if they were killed for their faith.

This is often associated with John Calvin who believed that God gave grace to people of God’s choosing so they could repent and believe in him. Calvin especially wanted to see the gospel take route in France (a strong catholic country) so he sent hundreds of missionaries there.

They were followers in Zwingli’s church who rejected infant baptism.
