Chapter 16: part one

The beginning of the chapter is about religion and its role in early society. In the reading we learn that Christianity was the dominating religion. It was powerful in influence and followers. Martin Luther, though thought that the church had many problems, and was not the only one to think so, but was excommunicated from the church because of his disagreement with it. Martin Luther believed, opposite of the church, that faith was the only was all you need to get to Heaven. I agree with Luther I think that, no matter what religion, as long as you have faith, whether it be one God or many, it is the most important and all that is really needed.
