Description

This book explores the pivotal clash between the Protestant Reformers and the Catholic Church during the 16th century, focusing on the key theological debates and the historical context surrounding the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent. Through an in-depth analysis of the reformers' critiques of Catholic doctrine—especially regarding issues like salvation, the sacraments, and the authority of the Church—this work examines how the Protestant movement fundamentally reshaped Christianity. The book also delves into the Catholic response at the Council of Trent, where the Church sought to reaffirm and define its teachings in opposition to Protestant ideas. By tracing the ideological divide and the broader socio-political impacts of these religious movements, this book provides an insightful narrative of the religious revolution that shaped modern Western Christianity. The Protestant Reformers and the Council of Trent stand as two defining moments in the history of the Christian faith, whose legacies continue to influence religious thought and practice today.
