Question

Period 1 exam (Renaissance - Religious Wars) AP Euro
"The Reformation, the movement which divided European Christianity into Catholic and Protestant traditions, is unique. No other movement of religious protest or reform since antiquity has been so widespread or lasting in its effects.... First of all, the Reformation was a protest by church-men and scholars, privileged classes in medieval society, against their own superiors."

- Euan Cameron, Henry Luce III Professor of Reformation Church History at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York, The European Reformation, Second Edition, 1991

"[T]he Reformation…is occupied by politics and the play of secular ambitions. In short, the Reformation maintained itself wherever the lay power (prince or magistrates) favoured it; it could not survive where the authorities decided to suppress it."

- British historian G. R. Elton, ed., The New Cambridge Modern History, Vol. II, The Reformation: 1520-1559, 1958
