ABSTRACT
The reform movements in the Christianity of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were not limited to the Magisterial and Radical Reformations in Germany and Switzerland – far from it. There were also major reforms occurring in the Church of England, from which Anglicanism and the Puritans emerged. Key reforms were also occurring within the Roman Catholic Church, some in response to Protestant objections, some having nothing to do with the Protestant Reformation. Through these various reform movements, the Christian Church would advance throughout Europe, and it would be divided once again – fracturing into multiple denominations which would scatter throughout the Western world.
