Reformation was definitely important for the development of modern ideas and after going through this week’s readings and lectures I am very much in favour of this statement. Earlier people were engrossed in whatever Church said. If they said that God will forgive if they paid some tribute then people believed that this would be true. But it is really sad that everyone failed to understand that God does not require middlemen to reach to its own people. Here the major role was played by the fear and that was the fear of not achieving salvation. Reformation helped changing these traditional ideas and led to a more simplistic view of religion and God and belief.
