Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press was crucial and without it the reformation would not have occurred. It allowed ideas to spread rapidly which challenged the Catholic church’s control of information.
Alright i understand Luther...and Calvin and i know the story of henry the eigth Seven wifes but.... why in america they are so many protestant denomination that you have the embarassement to choose????why america why???
What do you mean? Most of the protestant denominations in the US came from Europe, the most notable (and debatable) exception being Mormons. What denomination in the US do you think is homegrown, aside from further subdivision of existing denominations?
Several factors. Historian Tom Holland argues that the Reformation was a significant milestone in the West becoming as individualistic as it has. "I don't like what you are doing or saying, so I'm going to go over here and do my own thing." Also, the westward expansion in America happened really fast. Missionaries followed. They needed to establish churches for people who settled at specific places, but the missionaries needed to keep up with the frontier. Until then, it was typical for people to go off to Bible collage. But this would take years and be expensive (they would have to travel to New York or such). So the missionaries would lay hands on people, leave them with a Bible, and be on their way. That's not to say that each new church was a new denomination: missionaries would likely have intended for the new church to be part of whatever denomination they were from. But you can imagine that if a difference of opinion of interpretation (not tempered by formal theological education) arose, there would be no love lost in breaking away and forming a new denomination. Probably also the presence of believers with less formal central structures (Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterian, as opposed to Catholics, Angilicans, Lutherans) meant it was easier or more acceptable for one group to splinter off from another.
