Reformation Mind Map: Structure of the Topic
A reformation mind map shows the Protestant Reformation, the 16th century movement that split Western Christianity. It usually divides into the religious causes, such as criticism of indulgences; the key reformers, including Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin; the doctrines and reforms they advocated; and the consequences, including the Counter-Reformation and the wars of religion.
- Causes: indulgences, clerical abuses, printing press, political tensions
- Key reformers: Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Henry VIII
- Doctrines: sola scriptura, sola fide, priesthood of all believers
- Consequences: Catholic Counter-Reformation, religious wars, new churches
Use the map to revise the sequence of events and link each reformer to his ideas. To build a version from your own lecture notes, try CogniGuide.
