Civilization Story 6: the Reformation

About This Novel
"Religious Reform" is the sixth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". Abstain from entertainment, burn dissidents, and attack literature and art... The Reformation denounced the joy of the Renaissance, believed that worldly achievements and joys were of no benefit, and that life was nothing but a vale of tears, and called sinners to convert to faith, repent and pray. It was almost medieval reaction. Yet, despite all its intolerance, the Religious Revolution made a contribution to the Enlightenment: it undermined the authority of dogma and allowed for vigorous debate among different voices. In these disputes, in attack and defense, all orders and authorities weakened, and a hundred years after Luther cried out for faith, Francis Bacon declared that knowledge is power.
