This unit involves students in the history of the Reformation era, so that they may better understand the Lutheran tradition as a movement for evangelical reform within the church catholic. Students will study the period from Christendom at the end of the Middle Ages, through the various European reformations to the end of the 16th century. This study will include: a special focus on the career of Martin Luther and the Lutheran reformation; the reform movements led by Zwingli and Calvin; the radical reformers; the expansion of the reformation movement in Europe; Catholic renewal; and the legacies of reformations.

This unit utilises learner-centred approaches by enabling students to encounter primary texts, ask critical questions of those texts, and discuss each other’s questions in a weekly tutorial. The unit also utilises a considered approach to feedback, enabling ‘feed-forward’ feedback from both lecturer and co-students on the essay, followed by an opportunity to incorporate and react to this feedback.
