p 461-477

Chap. 16

This chapter focuses on the Religion and Science that was dominant during the 1450-1750's. Christianity was limited to Europe in the beginning of the 1500's and was divided between Roman Catholics of western and Central Europe and the Easter oOrthodox of Easter Europe and Russia. This sounds familiar because I remember learning about the two during last semester. This chapter goes a lt more in debt than what I learned in the previous course. I really liked the chart on page 464 because it lays out the significant differences in beliefs between the catholic and protestant. Reading this, it really got me thinking about my church experience. I just went to mass on campus for the first time last sunday at 7. I enjoyed going considering I havent been to church in a long time. I think the last time I went was when I was about 8, so I dont remember much. But last sunday, there was a lot spoken about Jesus and his authority with his words. It got me thinking about how much different I can change my language and how I can speak to others. I am christian so I was pretty nervous of how different it would be because it is a Catholic church. Church was a different experience for me and I would definitely go again.
