Reformation

Start with the wider picture

Reformation is a section of The Renaissance unit in History. The resources on this page connect the Reformation with the Renaissance, including its artists and humanist thinkers. For an overview, start with the mind map History Quarter. It brings together the Renaissance, the Reformation, artists and humanism.

Another mind map, Renaissance and Reformation, introduces the Renaissance as a period of intellectual and artistic achievement and refers to the religious changes that followed. Use these maps to see how the page brings the two topics together before moving into individual terms.

Study terms with flashcards

The Socials flashcards include questions about Protestant religions, heresy, indulgences and the author of the 95 Theses. They offer a place to focus on Reformation vocabulary and questions after looking at an overview.

For more Renaissance terms, Chp 15 - Renaissance and Reformation includes the meaning of Renaissance and describes an interest in classical learning. The Ap Euro flashcards deck includes terms such as humanism and indulgences, alongside the Peace of Augsburg and the Council of Trent.

Use a quiz and a map together

After studying a map and some flashcards, try The Reformation quiz. Return to the resources you studied to look again at terms you found difficult. You can then use a map to organize those terms alongside the wider topics on the page.

If you want to study both parts together, the Renaissance & Reformation quiz offers another option. Compare your understanding with the broader maps and flashcards in this section of The Renaissance unit.
