The Nature of Man, the Renaissance, and the Protestant Reformation

Europe was a turbulent area between the 15th and 16th centuries. In particular, both the Renaissance and Protestant reforms introduced fundamental ideas and religious ideas that challenge established doctrines for centuries. This period corresponds to a substantial increase in philosophical, political and religious sentences. At that time, the most influential thinkers were Italian humanist Leon Battista Alberti, Florentine politician Niccolò Machiavelli, and German priest Martin Luther.

In addition to the more general Renaissance, Protestant reforms and changes in the nature of Christianity during the Marlow era have had a major impact on Dr. Fosdu. One problem solved by play is the reservation problem. According to Calvinism (Christian chapter of Protestant advocated by John Calvin), people are to be saved in heaven or to be cursed in hell. In other words, they are born to be destined to go to either, they can not help change this.

An important influence on the direction of the philosophy of the Renaissance was Protestant reform that began in Germany and was a partial rebellion against the Roman Catholic Church which dominated Christianity in Europe at that time. For centuries the church has been corrupted more and more, for the children of the pope who gave birth to live like secular kings than spiritual leaders. One of the church's most controversial fundraising techniques is to sell a certificate called "indulgence" to the audience of the church. An incendress of reform was a German monk named Martin Luther who was fed up with the corruption of the Roman church and published a document containing 95 documents that attacked church abuse.
