Listen "Rifts and Splits: Calvinism, Anglicanism, and Counter-Reformation"
Episode Synopsis
In the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, religious Europe continued to splinter. On today's episode, Rabbi Rocklin will answer the following questions: How did John Calvin's views of free will and predestination lead to a culture in which hard work and monetary success was seen as valuable? How does Anglicanism occupy a middle ground between Lutheranism and Calvinism? Over the course of the Council of Trent, how did the Catholic Church clarify its doctrine in response to Luther's criticisms?
