Und den Gründen, warum sie zu Stande kam...Die meisten von uns kennen wahrscheinlich die Geschichte, die von dem deutschen Mönch Martin Luther handelt und davon, wie er seine fünfundneunzig Thesen an die Tür einer Kirche nagelte. Bei diesen fünfundneunzig Thesen handelte es sich im Wesentlichen um fünfundneunzig Beschwerden gegen die Lehren der katholischen Kirche. Damals war die katholische Kirche die wichtigste religiöse Führungsinstanz. Wer es wagte, die Lehren der katholischen Kirche in Frage zu stellen, wurde unweigerlich des Irrtums bezichtigt, und wenn diese ¿Irrtümer" nicht sofort korrigiert wurden, wurde man als Ketzer abgestempelt. Und wenn man erst als Ketzer galt, war es zu dieser Zeit wahrscheinlich, dass man kurz darauf auf dem Scheiterhaufen landete.Die katholische Kirche hatte das kirchliche Dogma weit über tausend Jahre lang fest im Griff, doch Martin Luther wagte es, aufzustehen und seine Stimme zu erheben, um dagegen zu protestieren. Martin Luther schaffte es nicht nur, die Konsequenz seines religiösen Ungehorsams zu überleben, sondern löste auch einen dynamischen gesellschaftlichen Umschwung aus, infolgedessen immer mehr Menschen gegen das protestierten, was sie als Missstände in der katholischen Kirche empfanden. Diese Reformatoren, die gemeinhin als Protestanten bekannt sind, kamen aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten und hatten hauptsächlich eines gemeinsam: Sie wollten die Heilige Schrift selbst lesen und sich eine eigene Meinung über den Inhalt der Bibel bilden.Dieses Buch beschreibt die frühen Anfänge des reformatorischen Denkens, die zunächst von Martin Luther und anderen Reformatoren ausgingen, und geht dann auf das Leben und Schaffen von bedeutenden Protestanten wie beispielsweise Johannes Calvin und Ulrich Zwingli ein. Diese mutigen Reformatoren wagten es, den Status quo in Frage zu stellen, und veränderten die Welt für protestantische Christen für immer.Dies ist die Geschichte der Reformation.In diesem Buch werden Sie mehr zu den folgenden Themen erfahrenDie Ursachen der ReformationDie wichtigsten historischen Figuren der ReformationDie Konflikte, die durch die Reformation entstandenDie religiösen Gruppen, die sich durch die Reformation zusammenschlossenUnd vieles, vieles mehr

Si alguna vez se ha preguntado quiénes formaban el círculo íntimo de Jesús, no se lo pregunte más.Aunque las palabras y acciones de los doce apóstoles se encuentran dispersas por todo el Nuevo Testamento, reunir las piezas puede resultar confuso, agotador y, sencillamente, difícil. Los nombres se repiten o cambian con frecuencia. Se mencionan trabajos anteriores y posibles destinos, pero incluso un mapa del mundo antiguo puede ser difícil de reconstruir. Algunos libros de la Biblia fueron escritos por los apóstoles, otros no, y otros solo dan pistas enigmáticas sobre quién los leyó, dónde y por qué. Abundan los comentarios, así como las historias de hombres como Orígenes, Eusebio y Jerónimo. ¿Por dónde empezar?Hemos hecho todo ese trabajo por usted en este libro. Contadas con un estilo fácil, interesante y atractivo, por fin podrá leer con detenimiento las historias que ampliarán sus conocimientos y enriquecerán sus conversaciones religiosas. Los estudiantes de historia y los estudiantes de cristianismo encontrarán teorías, tradiciones e incluso historias olvidadas hace mucho tiempo de fuentes ajenas a la Biblia para reflexionar y, en última instancia, llegar a la propia decisión. Este libro no pretende convertir al lector, sino compartir hechos.Por fin, sin tener que gastar incontables horas y miles de dólares en un volumen tras otro de libros de texto, el lector tiene un punto de partida para lo que resultará ser un viaje emocionante y estimulante.En su interior, encontrará las respuestas a estas preguntas:¿Adónde fueron los apóstoles cuando terminaron los relatos bíblicos?¿Por qué discrepaban entre ellos tan a menudo?¿Qué apóstoles tenían familia o eran parientes?¿Por qué algunas personas cuentan doce, trece o catorce apóstoles?¿Cómo llegaron unos hombres tan corrientes a tener una influencia tan enorme en el mundo actual?¡Y mucho, mucho más!Al escudriñar detrás de la cortina y reunir los datos de dos milenios de historia, finalmente las historias de cada apóstol están al alcance de su mano.

Si quiere descubrir la cautivadora historia de la Carta Magna, siga leyendo...La Carta Magna es reconocida como uno de los documentos más importantes de la historia de la humanidad. Es la principal fuente de derecho constitucional en todo el mundo, y ofrece a las personas libertades y protección frente al poder arbitrario del gobierno.Sin embargo, es también un conjunto de promesas extraídas a mala fe de un rey no comprometido, y esas promesas lidiaban con los problemas de la aristocracia del siglo XIII. Entre asuntos ordinarios referidos a tasas, aduanas y leyes sobre la tierra, en el documento también encuentran su lugar las más importantes ideas revolucionarias capaces de cambiar el mundo.No obstante, en 1215 estas eran escasas, se mencionaban por aquí y por allá, y en la forma de altos ideales, más que en la de una ley.Aún hoy se citan algunas partes de la Carta Magna, como aquellas cláusulas que tratan sobre la justicia entre iguales, la protección ante encarcelamientos ilegales, la libertad de la Iglesia, etc. Sin embargo, en la época medieval, estas cláusulas no tenían el mismo significado que hoy en día.

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Napoleonic Wars, then keep reading...The Napoleonic Wars, which took place between 1803 and 1815, were spearheaded by probably France’s best tactician and military strategist to date, General Napoleon Bonaparte. His tactics and strategies were so grounded that it has served as the basis for many major warfare campaigns and maneuvers, both during his lifetime as well as after his demise. Even France’s sworn enemy for most of the medieval era, the British, acknowledged his ingenuity despite his ultimate defeat at the hands of the British army at the end of life.In this book, we will take an interesting journey through the annals of history to inspect the Napoleonic Wars: why they started in the first place, a glimpse into the life of the legendary commander Napoleon Bonaparte, the course of events and some of the major players on the board, and the stories of the last glimmer of France’s military greatness.

If you want to discover the captivating history of Hannah Duston, then keep reading...In a time very different from our own, there lived a woman that led an extraordinary life. The single most important event in her existence has stood the test of time. Her character, her actions, and her deepest thoughts and desires are still debated to this day. She has become a symbol of an era that many people today do not understand or comprehend. Hannah Duston lived in a period when women were meant to be delicate, feeble, and more compassionate, but she defied this stereotype. She could be thought of as the ultimate mama bear defending her cubs and warding off all who would harm them. Or she could be seen as the wolf among the lambs that waits for the perfect moment to strike. Her accomplishments in life were great, and her courage stronger than most people. Yet her moral outlook on life was questionable. She was more than just a woman; she was a fighter with a keen sense of survival. She killed to avenge who she loved and never apologized for her actions, even if they were wrong. In Hannah Duston: A Captivating Guide to the First American Woman to Have a Statue Built in Her Honor, you will discover topics such asEnglish, French, and Native Americans: Frenemies for DecadesHannah’s Early LifeThe Fateful Raid on HaverhillHannah’s Zero HourMerrimack River MassacreHannah’s Final ReflectionHannah Duston MemorialsThe Ugly Side of HannahControversial CandorAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Hannah Duston, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Scientific Revolution, then keep reading...Ancient cultures have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years, wondering about their place in the universe. What were those glowing spots in the black cover of night? Just how far away was the moon? These and other questions hounded humanity through the millennia until, finally, relative economic stability allowed for a number of people to examine their world more closely. Slowly, knowledge and understanding accumulated generation by generation until the conditions were ideal enough for a revolution to occur in thinking, experimentation, worldview, and natural philosophy.It was the Scientific Revolution, the time period when Western theologians had more and better tools to measure and make sense of the things around them. With careful measurements, precise data collection, and an unwavering sense of curiosity, humankind stepped into the future. The truly magnificent feature of this time period, besides, of course, the scientific discoveries themselves, was the kinship between philosophers, scientists, and experimental hobbyists throughout Europe. Hundreds, if not thousands, of letters between great intellectuals such as Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Robert Hooke, and Tycho Brahe have been preserved, demonstrating how these men (and a few women) worked in cooperation with one another in order to better their own research. In The Scientific Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Emergence of Modern Science During the Early Modern Period, Including Stories of Thinkers Such as Isaac Newton and René Descartes, you will discover topics such asScience: A Definition and Brief PrehistoryThe Early Western SciencesParacelsusNicolaus CopernicusLuigi AnguillaraAndreas VesaliusIgnazio DantiTycho and Sophia BrahePaul WittichSethus CalvisiusJoseph GoedenhuyzeGiordano BrunoConrad GessnerJohannes KeplerDaniel SennertGalileo GalileiWilliam HarveyRené DescartesRobert BoyleAntonie van LeeuwenhoekIsaac NewtonRobert HookeMaria Sibylla MerianMaria Winckelmann-KirchWilliam and Caroline HerschelMary SomervilleAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Scientific Revolution, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
Explore cómo se liberaron los esclavos en la Revolución haitianaLa Revolución haitiana fue una rebelión de esclavos que comenzó en 1791 en la colonia francesa de Saint-Domingue, conocida ahora como Haití. En esta pequeña isla los tiranos fueron los dueños de esclavos, gente que no solo privaba de libertad a sus esclavos, sino que también pensaba que estaba justificado quitarles la vida. La Revolución haitiana empezó a cambiar la imagen de los esclavos en el mundo. Aunque costó otros 100 años erradicar la esclavitud en occidente, era imposible ignorar el paralelismo entre lo que los americanos y los franceses hicieron a los esclavos. La Revolución haitiana fue el primer y único caso en el que una rebelión de esclavos desembocó en la creación de un nuevo estado. Algunos de los temas incluidos en este libro son:La riqueza de Saint-DomingueEl principio del fin de la colonia francesaComienza la revoluciónLa revolución se extiendeCúmulo de eventos en EuropaLa abolición de la esclavitud y la respuesta británicaLa llegada al poder de Toussaint LouvertureLa derrota de Inglaterra y el respeto internacionalEl ascenso de Napoleón y su efecto inicial en Saint-DomingueEl fin de la revoluciónEfectos duraderos – Más allá de la islaHaití en la actualidadHaiti Today¡Y mucho más!¡Consiga su libro ahora para aprender sobre la Revolución haitiana!
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Sarmatians and Scythians, then keep reading...Masters of the horse, the Scythians and Sarmatians opened the Eurasian Steppe to nomadic civilizations like it had never seen before. For the first time, a group of tribes sharing a common culture called the Steppe their home, adapting themselves to its harshness. Born out of this environment, a very particular way to live was adopted and later spread to peoples of Central Asia—the pastoral nomadic lifestyle. It would be the bane of organized armies of great empires, as the excellent mobility granted by their superior horse-riding skills were no match compared to the slow, organized infantry.The tale of the Scythians and Sarmatians have lasted through history, and although they had not one written historical record of their own, their presence was registered by dozens of classical historians. More importantly, though, their precious burial tombs still retained some of the civilizational remains of this extraordinary group of peoples.In Sarmatians and Scythians: A Captivating Guide to the Barbarians of Iranian Origins and How These Ancient Tribes Fought Against the Roman Empire, Goths, Huns, and Persians, you will discover topics such asOrigins of the Scythians and SarmatiansArt, Culture, and ReligionEconomy and SocietyWarfare and ConquestEnd of the Scythians and SarmatiansAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Sarmatians and Scythians, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of Armenia, then keep reading...The tale of Armenia has its beginnings as a glorious ancient kingdom, one that commanded the respect of nations as mighty as Egypt and Babylonia. As its history takes a turn for the darker, each chapter reads like a roll call of the most famous of figures: Antony and Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Frederick Barbarossa. Armenia saw ancient Rome rise to power; it knew Egyptian pharaohs, the Golden Horde, the Soviet Union, and saw the first invasion of the first Muslim army. For a long and ugly part of its history, Armenia struggled under the yokes of one empire after another: the Roman, Parthian, Persian, Byzantine, Timurid, Mongolian, and Ottoman Empires, to name just a few.Yet through it all, Armenia, time and time again, emerged as a nation with a powerful identity, one that caused much grief over the years, but one that still remains a pillar of strength to its people in good times and in bad. There is much sorrow held within these pages; much oppression, much persecution, and even the most terrible evil of them all-genocide. The reading is made easy by one single gleaming light, a golden thread running through every word and chapter, and that light is the Armenian people themselves.Their story is tragic, but their survival is incredible. And that is what makes their tale so inspiring.In History of Armenia: A Captivating Guide to Armenian History, Starting from Ancient Armenia to Its Declaration of Sovereignty from the Soviet Union, you will discover topics such as The Home of Eden The Rise and Fall of Urartu A Conquered Armenia An Empire in its Own Right Caught in the Crossfire Illumination Immortals and War Elephants An Armenian Emperor Crusader State Conquered The First Deportation Genocide Freedom at Last A Study in Velvet And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the History of Armenia, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Not all Americans were happy with the change, with famous Americans like Mark Twain speaking out about the US occupation of the lands that it was meant to save. This breach was seen as being as antithetical to American ideals as bowing to the English crown would have been seen during the American Revolution. Still, the isolationist's view of the country was no longer popular, and more Americans wished to play a larger part in the world. The ideology of the country was not entirely different than it had been, but it was moving more toward the superpower it eventually became by the end of World War II. America had finally taken strides to match the might and power of the other Western countries, and it was increasingly more difficult to ignore the events around the world once they had lands to protect so far from the mainland.Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: Spain's Waning Influence America - A Country Itching to Break out of Isolationism Building Tensions America's Sensationalized Sympathy with Cuba Remember the Maine! - An Excuse for War A Brief War with Huge Implications Rough Riders - The Beginning of the Legend of Theodore Roosevelt How the Smoked Yankees Ensured Roosevelt's Success The Price of Peace The Anti-Imperialist League The Foraker Act of 1900 and New Territories The Tense Relationship between Cuba and the US Half-Way around the World - The Philippine-American Relationship A Changed World And much, much more!Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: A Quick Overview The World After Rome Ending a Dynasty - Pepin, Charles, and Carloman The Conquests of Charles In the Name of Religion Pope Leo III and the Founding of an Empire The Carolingian Renaissance - The Empire under Charlemagne The Rule of Louis the Pious Familial Strife and the Decay of the Empire The Division Effectively Ending the Empire Echoes of the Roman Empire - How Outside Forces Picked Apart the Carolingian Empire Lasting Effects and Hope of Reunification And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the history of the Spanish-American War and Philippine-American War, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Age of Enlightenment, then keep reading...The life of an eminent scientist during the Scientific Revolution and the ensuing Enlightenment was not easy. Ambitious people were killed in the name of the Catholic Church for their scientific and philosophical works, which were often viewed as heretical. As time went on, however, and the truths of scientific research and exploration showed themselves time and time again, the collective perspective of the population began to shift away from religious dogma toward the logical scientific method.The Enlightenment gained traction in the 17th century, and more emphasis was given to scientific techniques in the schools, as well as to the separation of religious and scientific data. Religious philosophies also became less rooted in the exact words of the Catholic Church, as papal authority gave way in many European countries to splinter groups of Christianity, such as the Calvinists, Lutherans, and other types of Protestants.Major figures of the Enlightenment period include Voltaire, Isaac Newton, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Thomas Jefferson. These and many other great thinkers of the era influenced mass social upheaval in pursuit of equality and human rights, and many historians consider the culmination of these efforts to have been the French Revolution of 1789.In Age of Enlightenment: A Captivating Guide to the Age of Reason, Including the Lives of Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Mary Somerville, you will discover topics such as The Republic of Letters Michel de Montaigne Francis Bacon Marie de Gournay René Descartes Bathsua Makin Anna Maria Van Schurman Dorothy Moore Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia Robert Boyle John Locke Isaac Newton England's Civil War The Royal Society of London Marie du Moulin Conflict in the Royal Society Charles-Louis de Secondat (Montesquieu) Benjamin Franklin David Hume Adam Smith The Boston Tea Party Thomas Paine The American Revolution François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) Mary Sommerville And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Age of Enlightenment, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Scientific Revolution, then keep reading...Two captivating manuscripts in one book: The Scientific Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Emergence of Modern Science During the Early Modern Period, Including Stories of Thinkers Such as Isaac Newton and René Descartes Galileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of ScienceAncient cultures have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years, wondering about their place in the universe. What were those glowing spots in the black cover of night? Just how far away was the moon? These and other questions hounded humanity through the millennia until, finally, relative economic stability allowed for a number of people to examine their world more closely. Slowly, knowledge and understanding accumulated generation by generation until the conditions were ideal enough for a revolution to occur in thinking, experimentation, worldview, and natural philosophy.It was the Scientific Revolution, the time period when Western theologians had more and better tools to measure and make sense of the things around them. With careful measurements, precise data collection, and an unwavering sense of curiosity, humankind stepped into the future. The truly magnificent feature of this time period, besides, of course, the scientific discoveries themselves, was the kinship between philosophers, scientists, and experimental hobbyists throughout Europe. Hundreds, if not thousands, of letters between great intellectuals such as Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Robert Hooke, and Tycho Brahe have been preserved, demonstrating how these men (and a few women) worked in cooperation with one another in order to better their own research.Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: Science: A Definition and Brief Prehistory The Early Western Sciences Paracelsus Nicolaus Copernicus Luigi Anguillara Andreas Vesalius Ignazio Danti Tycho and Sophia Brahe Paul Wittich Sethus Calvisius Joseph Goedenhuyze Giordano Bruno Conrad Gessner Johannes Kepler Daniel Sennert Galileo Galilei William Harvey René Descartes Robert Boyle Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Isaac Newton Robert Hooke Maria Sibylla Merian Maria Winckelmann-Kirch William and Caroline Herschel Mary Somerville And much, much more!Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: A Stargazer Is Born Galileo Studies with Florentine Monks The University of Pisa Galileo Calculates the Location of Hell Professor at the University of Pisa University of Padua The Catholic Inquisition Kepler's Star Galileo and Johannes Kepler The Starry Messenger Galileo Meets Pope Paul V The Inquisition Visits Again Discourse on the Tides A Meeting with Pope Urban VIII The Assayer Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems Trial and Imprisonment Final Work and Death And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Scientific Revolution and Galileo Galilei, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
If you want to discover the captivating life of Galileo Galilei, then keep reading...Galileo Galilei's contributions to modern science were so fundamental to a variety of fields that even though he died almost 400 years ago, his name retains international acclaim. This 17th-century natural philosopher is often credited with the invention of the telescope thanks to his many discoveries using that specific instrument, and though he was not, in fact, its inventor, the myth still persists. Indeed, Galileo was responsible for a series of upgrades to astronomy's brand-new tool during the early part of the 1600s, and it was largely his innovative techniques that changed a somewhat mediocre magnifying glass into a revolutionary device.He was also the first to use his powerful telescope to look at the Moon, planets, and stars and discover just how much there truly was out there beyond the realm of ocean, land, and clouds. His observations of the solar system were the first of their kind, and they helped cement a theory that had been appearing and disappearing from European philosophy for centuries: that the Earth was not the center of the universe.Galileo published his theories regardless of the danger and struggled to deal with the repercussions of doing so. His amazing career was characterized by a tenuous balance between publishing the truth of his discoveries and maintaining good relationships with the people in power. Like so many other great people of that age, Galileo was born not far from Florence, Italy, making him a product of the continent's foremost trendsetter during the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution.In Galileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of Science, you will discover topics such as A Stargazer Is Born Galileo Studies with Florentine Monks The University of Pisa Galileo Calculates the Location of Hell Professor at the University of Pisa University of Padua The Catholic Inquisition Kepler's Star Galileo and Johannes Kepler The Starry Messenger Galileo Meets Pope Paul V The Inquisition Visits Again Discourse on the Tides A Meeting with Pope Urban VIII The Assayer Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems Trial and Imprisonment Final Work and Death And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Galileo Galilei, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
