Why would Reformation follow Renaissance?
Answer Hi Dave, I’ll be glad to help with your questions. Religious reformation does not always follow a renaissance period. Though the Reformation of the 16th century was not caused by the Renaissance of the 15th century, they are linked. The rediscovery of ancient learning during the Renaissance led people to question ideas, beliefs, and practices more vigorously than previously. That spirit of questioning created the intellectual context which helped a person like Martin Luther challenge the establishment. I hope that this helps, Dave. If you have other questions, just ask.
