Text
When Luther translated the Bible from the official
Latin text into German, many other reformers began
translating their sacred text into their

History and
Origins
When Martin Luther
nailed his complaints to the church door he set in
motion a series of religious revolutions that
shattered Christianity into many denominations and
sects. New interpretations of the Bible developed
and the individual's relationship with the church
radically changed.
"Two
distinct branches of Protestantism grew out of the
Reformation. The evangelical churches in Germany
and Scandinavia were followers of Martin
Luther, and the reformed churches in other
countries were followers of John
Calvin and Huldreich
Zwingli. A third major branch, episcopacy,
developed in England. Particularly since the
Oxford movement of the 19th cent., many
Anglicans have rejected the word Protestant
because they tend to agree with Roman Catholicism
on most doctrinal points, rejecting, however, the
primacy of the pope (see
England, Church of;
Episcopal Church;
Ireland, Church of). In addition, there have
been several groups commonly called Protestant but
historically preceding the rise of Protestantism
(see
Hussites;
Lollardry;
Waldenses). Protestantism has largely been
adopted by the peoples of NW Europe and their
descendants, excepting the southern Germans,
Irish, French, and Belgians; there have been
important Protestant minorities in France,
Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland". Source:

Martin
Luther's challenge opened the door to resistant in
church doctrine, dogma and actions. Other
individuals stepped forward and expressed their
views on how Christianity needed to be reformed
and changed. Denounced by the Catholic Church as
heretics they succeeded with the aid of local
nobles and kings.
