The Reformation marked a radical change in European thinking and specifically in theological reflection. The study course "Reformations. Backgrounds - Motivations - Effects" (Reformationen. Hintergründe - Motive - Wirkungen) traces the basics of reformatory thinking and questions its effects to date. Five course units examine the reformation period as a time of radical change, looks in detail at how church service was understood during that time period and elaborates on the relationship between church reformers and the arts. The individual study units contain a wealth of material and detailed progress plans, which offer an overview of time requirements, content and work formats. The accompanying DVD contains songs, video sequences and copy templates. The course is suitable for education institutions and church parishes, VHS and inter-denominational education providers.
