The Reformation began well before Martin Luther. A chorus of voices had already been crying out for the reform of a corrupt medieval Church. This was a Church that reigned supreme - whose influence extended beyond the borders of the spiritual, and into the temporal realms of politics and power. This lesson will provide a better understanding of the multiple factors leading up to the Reformation. We will see how this Church influenced all aspects of medieval life, and introduce those voices calling for her reform.
