The Reformation Simplified SERIES: English vs. Continental Reformation

4 differences between the English Reformation & the Continental Reformation

1. The Continental Reformation began with a change of doctrine
   and altered the government for the sake of it.
   The English Reformation began with a change of government and was then free to make what changes of doctrine were thought necessary.
   (This is also true of the Swedish Reformation).
2. The appeal of the Continental Reformation was to Scripture alone
   (in practice, as interpreted by Luther and Calvin).
       The appeal of the English Reformation was to Scripture
   interpreted by the ancient Church.
3. The Continental Reformation was primarily a religious movement arising from the people.
   The English Reformation was primarily a political movement carried out by the Crown (as also in Sweden).
4. The Continental Reformation rejected or dropped the principle of succession (except in Sweden).
   The English Reformation retained it.

CLAUDE BEAUFORT MOSS

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:

yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,

by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

Daniel 11:33
