From Reform to Reason (1550 to 1650)
Church HistorySteve Gregg
In "From Reform to Reason (1550 to 1650)," Steve Gregg discusses the transition from the Reformation to the rise of the Puritans and Separatists in the British Isles. He notes significant events during this period, including the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 and the Thirty Years' War, which was initially a religious war between Calvinists and Catholics. The rise of the Puritans and Separatists, who sought to restructure the governmental organization of the Church of England, also played a significant role in this period.
