Und den Gründen, warum sie zu Stande kam...Die meisten von uns kennen wahrscheinlich die Geschichte, die von dem deutschen Mönch Martin Luther handelt und davon, wie er seine fünfundneunzig Thesen an die Tür einer Kirche nagelte. Bei diesen fünfundneunzig Thesen handelte es sich im Wesentlichen um fünfundneunzig Beschwerden gegen die Lehren der katholischen Kirche. Damals war die katholische Kirche die wichtigste religiöse Führungsinstanz. Wer es wagte, die Lehren der katholischen Kirche in Frage zu stellen, wurde unweigerlich des Irrtums bezichtigt, und wenn diese ¿Irrtümer" nicht sofort korrigiert wurden, wurde man als Ketzer abgestempelt. Und wenn man erst als Ketzer galt, war es zu dieser Zeit wahrscheinlich, dass man kurz darauf auf dem Scheiterhaufen landete.Die katholische Kirche hatte das kirchliche Dogma weit über tausend Jahre lang fest im Griff, doch Martin Luther wagte es, aufzustehen und seine Stimme zu erheben, um dagegen zu protestieren. Martin Luther schaffte es nicht nur, die Konsequenz seines religiösen Ungehorsams zu überleben, sondern löste auch einen dynamischen gesellschaftlichen Umschwung aus, infolgedessen immer mehr Menschen gegen das protestierten, was sie als Missstände in der katholischen Kirche empfanden. Diese Reformatoren, die gemeinhin als Protestanten bekannt sind, kamen aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten und hatten hauptsächlich eines gemeinsam: Sie wollten die Heilige Schrift selbst lesen und sich eine eigene Meinung über den Inhalt der Bibel bilden.Dieses Buch beschreibt die frühen Anfänge des reformatorischen Denkens, die zunächst von Martin Luther und anderen Reformatoren ausgingen, und geht dann auf das Leben und Schaffen von bedeutenden Protestanten wie beispielsweise Johannes Calvin und Ulrich Zwingli ein. Diese mutigen Reformatoren wagten es, den Status quo in Frage zu stellen, und veränderten die Welt für protestantische Christen für immer.Dies ist die Geschichte der Reformation.In diesem Buch werden Sie mehr zu den folgenden Themen erfahrenDie Ursachen der ReformationDie wichtigsten historischen Figuren der ReformationDie Konflikte, die durch die Reformation entstandenDie religiösen Gruppen, die sich durch die Reformation zusammenschlossenUnd vieles, vieles mehr

Los nombres se repiten o cambian con frecuencia. Se mencionan trabajos anteriores y posibles destinos, pero incluso un mapa del mundo antiguo puede ser difícil de reconstruir. Algunos libros de la Biblia fueron escritos por los apóstoles, otros no, y otros solo dan pistas enigmáticas sobre quién los leyó, dónde y por qué. Abundan los comentarios, así como las historias de hombres como Orígenes, Eusebio y Jerónimo. ¿Por dónde empezar?Hemos hecho todo ese trabajo por usted en este libro. Contadas con un estilo fácil, interesante y atractivo, por fin podrá leer con detenimiento las historias que ampliarán sus conocimientos y enriquecerán sus conversaciones religiosas.

Este libro no pretende convertir al lector, sino compartir hechos.Por fin, sin tener que gastar incontables horas y miles de dólares en un volumen tras otro de libros de texto, el lector tiene un punto de partida para lo que resultará ser un viaje emocionante y estimulante.En su interior, encontrará las respuestas a estas preguntas:¿Adónde fueron los apóstoles cuando terminaron los relatos bíblicos?¿Por qué discrepaban entre ellos tan a menudo?¿Qué apóstoles tenían familia o eran parientes?¿Por qué algunas personas cuentan doce, trece o catorce apóstoles?¿Cómo llegaron unos hombres tan corrientes a tener una influencia tan enorme en el mundo actual?¡Y mucho, mucho más!Al escudriñar detrás de la cortina y reunir los datos de dos milenios de historia, finalmente las historias de cada apóstol están al alcance de su mano.

Si quiere descubrir la cautivadora historia de la Carta Magna, siga leyendo...La Carta Magna es reconocida como uno de los documentos más importantes de la historia de la humanidad. Es la principal fuente de derecho constitucional en todo el mundo, y ofrece a las personas libertades y protección frente al poder arbitrario del gobierno.Sin embargo, es también un conjunto de promesas extraídas a mala fe de un rey no comprometido, y esas promesas lidiaban con los problemas de la aristocracia del siglo XIII. Entre asuntos ordinarios referidos a tasas, aduanas y leyes sobre la tierra, en el documento también encuentran su lugar las más importantes ideas revolucionarias capaces de cambiar el mundo.No obstante, en 1215 estas eran escasas, se mencionaban por aquí y por allá, y en la forma de altos ideales, más que en la de una ley.Aún hoy se citan algunas partes de la Carta Magna, como aquellas cláusulas que tratan sobre la justicia entre iguales, la protección ante encarcelamientos ilegales, la libertad de la Iglesia, etc. Sin embargo, en la época medieval, estas cláusulas no tenían el mismo significado que hoy en día. La Carta Magna se ha mostrado como un documento flexible con ideas que pueden acomodarse y transformarse para adaptarse a las necesidades de los nuevos tiempos.En Carta Magna: Una fascinante guía de la historia de la Carta Magna y su influencia en la Inglaterra medieval y el resto del mundo, descubrirá temas como:El rey JuanEl camino a RunnymedeLa Carta MagnaEl fracaso de la Carta MagnaLa GuerraEl Regente y el Final de la Primera Guerra de los BaronesEnrique III y la Carta MagnaLa Segunda Guerra de los Barones y Eduardo IEl Período Medieval Tardío y los TudorEl Renacimiento de la Carta MagnaEl Nuevo Mundo y la Carta Magna¡Adquiera este libro libro ahora y aprenda más sobre la Carta Magna!
