the anabaptist
as more people read the bible and started interpreting the bible for themselves, more offshoots of christianity appeared
believed only adults get baptized
word anabaptist comes from a greek meaning baptist again
persecuted by both catholic and lutherans
meanins and teachings influenced quakers and baptist groups who split from the anglican church
catholic reformation
founded superb schools
the jesuits worked to convedrt non christians to catholicism so they sent out missionaries around the world
they worked to stop the spread of protestantism
council of trent
church interpretation of the bible waws final
any christian who substituted his or her own interpretation was a heretic
christians needed faith and good work for salvation
they were not saved by faith alone as luther argued
the bible and church tradition were equally powerful authorities for guiding christian life
false selling of indulgences was banned
