篇一：The Reformation 宗教改革英文作文

The Reformation

One of the greatest of all revolutions was the 16th-century religious revolt known as the Reformation. This stormy, often brutal, conflict separated the Christians of Western Europe into Protestants and Catholics. So far-reaching were the results of the separation that the Reformation has been called a turning point in history. It ushered in the Modern Age because, once the people's religious unity was destroyed, they began to think in terms of their own regional interests. From the diversity of those interests arose new political, social, and economic problems and beliefs.

? Background of the Revolt

At the start of the 16th century Western Europe had only one religion, Roman Catholicism. The Catholic church was rich and powerful and had preserved Europe's classical culture. However, despite General Councils called to impose reforms, disputes and lax practices had grown up within the church.

Churchmen criticized the administration of the church and began to doubt some of its teachings. For example, the church insisted that it alone had the authority to interpret the meaning of the Bible for the people. As early as the 14th century, however, John Wycliffe, an English priest and teacher at Oxford University, declared that people had the right to read the Bible and interpret it for themselves. Despite protests by the church, followers of Wycliffe translated the Bible from Latin into English in 1382 and carried copies throughout the countryside. Wycliffe's ideas spread into Bohemia, where Jan Hus widely preached them in powerful sermons. The work of Wycliffe and Hus greatly influenced a Saxon monk named Martin Luther.

? The Reformation Spreads

When Pope Leo X condemned Luther's teachings in a bull, or papal decree, Luther subsequently burned the document and a copy of the church's canon law. Charles V, the Holy Roman emperor, ordered him to recant in 1521. Luther declared he would not do so until he was "convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures."

Other scholars helped to spread the Reformation. Philipp Melanchthon, Luther's colleague at the University of Wittenberg, became the chief theologian of the Reformation in Germany. Johannes Reuchlin of Heidelberg enlarged the field of ideas by fostering the study of Hebrew and Greek. Knowledge of these ancient languages enabled people to read the Bible in its original forms. From Johannes Tauler of Strasbourg had come the mystic idea of "heart religion," which had led to Luther's doctrine of "justification by faith."

Reformers in other lands were also zealous. Erasmus of Rotterdam, the great Dutch forerunner of Luther, spurred the study of the early church through his printed editions of the Greek New Testament and writings of the church fathers. Lefevre d'Etaples of France and Huldrych Zwingli of Switzerland held views similar to Luther's. In England John Colet worked for reform within the church. John Calvin made Geneva the world center of the Presbyterian and Reformed churches.

? Memorable Events in the Reformation

Although the Reformation swept through all Western Europe, the most dramatic events of this great religious revolt took place in Germany. It was in Wittenberg, Saxony, that Luther posted his list of propositions (95 theses) in 1517 and burned the papal bull in 1520. A year

later he was condemned by the Diet of Worms. In 1525 German nobles, encouraged by Luther, put down the Peasants' Revolt.

Another great event in the Reformation occurred in 1529, when the word Protestant was first used formally. In Germany the Diet of Speyer decreed that changes of religion must stop and that the authority of the Catholic church be restored. The Lutheran minority in the Diet signed a protest against that decree, however. From this protest comes the modern term for the religious denominations of Protestantism .

The fury and suffering of war added to the turmoil of the Reformation through the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648. Time and again Charles V fought to uphold the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic church against the claims of France and the German princes. But he needed their aid as he battled the Muslims who had advanced to the doors of Germany. Then he fought the Schmalkaldic War (1546-47). Although he defeated the Protestants, he could not turn back the movement of the Reformation.

Peace treaties, however, followed the religious wars. The most important of these was the Peace of Augsburg in 1555. By that treaty Charles V was at last forced to grant to the ruler of each German state the right to choose Catholicism or Lutheranism. The state's religion was still imposed by the ruler, but the treaty gave a temporary religious peace to Germany.

The Lutheran faith spread chiefly in northern Germany and in Scandinavia. The Swiss were influenced early by Huldrych Zwingli, but like the French and Dutch they drew their Protestantism from a movement led by John Calvin a generation later. From this grew the zealous work of John Knox, who brought Presbyterianism to Scotland. The English Reformation began in 1533 when Henry VIII broke with the pope, who had refused to annul Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The introduction of Protestant doctrine in the Church of England, however, did not take place until 1549, during the reign of Edward VI.

? The Catholic Counter-Reformation

Catholic church authorities underestimated the extent of the Reformation at first, considering it just another dissension or schism. Soon, however, they saw the movement spreading from one country to another.

The church took action. From 1545 to 1563 the Council of Trent issued decrees to correct abuses and to reaffirm ancient doctrines and traditions. The most vigorous program was set up by the Society of Jesus, commonly called the Jesuits. This order was started in 1534 by Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish nobleman and soldier who had become a monk. The Jesuit order was sanctioned by the pope in 1540.

A succession of able popes during the latter half of the 16th century followed the policy set in the Counter-Reformation. Their conscientious administrations removed much of the incentive to revolt.

By the close of the 16th century the Roman Catholic church had regained the faith of the people in half of the lands it had lost to Protestantism. Europe was then divided between the two forms of Christianity along almost the same lines that exist today.

篇二：关于女性,信仰,体育等英语作文

Women

From ancient times to today, women play more and more important roles in the world. They work in all kinds of filed, and play various roles in the part. Maybe they are doctors,teachers, scientists,engineers, workers and so on. At the same time, they are daughters, mothers, wives and lovers…

Most women all around the world love to make themselves beautiful, they love all nice things,they love shopping, they like to be considered as fashionable.

Most women like to be young forever, they are afraid of becoming old, but it’s a pity time and tide wait for no men.

Sometimes, I think women are more kind-hearted, more patient, and more intelligent than men. It is just because of this, they can take good care of their families,and live a happy life.

Nowadays, we pay more attention to women, and more and more women take part in the social activities, they are an indispensable part of our world.

Belief

When it refers to belief, we may think about two problems: what is belief? And what’s the strength of belief?

Simply speaking, belief is something that you deeply believe, and it is hard and impossible to change. And what’s the strength of belief?

For a person, belief always plays an important role in his/her life. As a saying goes, "Where there

is a will, there is a way." Anyone who has strong belief can realize his dream and enjoy a colorful life. Otherwise, he will lose himself on his way of life.

Belief is so important that it can change one's fate. As a deaf man, Beethoven went on working with his strong belief in the last years of his life, though he was not able to hear his own fine music. Marie Curie, a famous scientist, also set a good example,In 1898, Marie found a new element. In order to improve her discovery, Marie and her husband worked hard. It was because of their great effort that they saw the dim blue light of new element -- radium. Her dream came true at last.

So belief is powerful, believe what you believe in, don’t lose your belief.

Language

Language is a tool, it is a tool of our mind, a tool that we use to communicate with each others. It is something that joins us just as strongly as it separates us. There are many different “languages” in the world. For example, Chinese, English, Japanese, French, German and so on..
