Early Modern Christian Believe Reformation
According to (Wiesner, 2000). ), historians of the Europe Reformation have increasingly
been drawn towards studies of the period that are based less around an approach to the modern
period. The early modern religious belief in a Christian God existed within the Catholic Church.
Religion, however, is said to have emerged long before the colonization, globalization, and the
protestant reformation. In the early modern period, the belief in a Christian God was based on the
existence of supernatural powers in relation to what the early churches taught.
In the late fifteen century, Christianity experienced some radical changes from the force
exerted by philosophers who eagerly thrived to prove otherwise on Christianity beliefs. In this
time, individualism over community and church emerged forcing a great rival moving theology
from the community to individual. Moreover, Christianity became deliberate since it was based
on the Omniscience of human reason principle, therefore forcing many philosophers to think it
could be deduced. In addition, the enlightenment doubted the possibility of miracles which gave
a new insight to change some people mindset of great philosophers. Therefore, the gradual
change and force exerted slowly started to replace the religious theory in people’s minds.
Diderot a French philosopher influenced the reluctance on enlightenment thinking
through his skepticism in the resurrection. This Enlightenment, however, was set to intrude
divine revelation forcing changes. The Enlightenment also demonstrated Christianity as a false
notion to many who seldom believed in the existence of God (Haught, 2014). In turn questions of
the identity of Jesus Christ and His significance turned Christianity believe a moral theory which
anyone could tend to follow, and not something that would change wicked men who did not
believe in God.
