reformation  

Definición

  • The sixteenth century's tumultuous period of church reform known as the Reformation had major implications for European society, Christianity, and early modern politics and political theory. From Martin Luther (1483–1546) onward, one major question preoccupied Reformation political thought: What should be the nature and extent of the authority of a magistrate over the affairs of the church and the promotion of the faith? This prevalent question was predicated on a long and complex history of the intertwining of secular and church authorities in the middle ages. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Reformation]
