History

13
 The medieval
period was not
like the
Renaissance. It
was a more
brutal and
violent time
with far less
artistic
development.
Peoples’ world
views were
informed by an
indoctrinated
fear of the
Catholic God,
instead of by
curiosity and a
hunger for new
empirical
knowledge.

TASK 4:
Renaissance
&Religion

In the early 16th

century, Martin
Luther became
frustrated with
the Catholic
Church. His
revolutionary
actions led to
the beginning
of the
Reformation, a
period of
religious

14
 upheaval during
which many
people would
challenge the
authority of the
Catholic
Church. But not
everyone’s
reasons for
challenging the
Church were the
same as
Luther’s. Luther
wanted to
restore the idea
that common
people could
have a direct
connection with
God.
