Preferred term

Protestant political thought  

Definition(s)

  • The Protestant Reformation set in motion a series of largely unintended revolutions, from the sudden transformation of European geopolitics, to the formation of the modern nation-state, as well as the reshaping of families and the ideals of individuality. Martin Luther (1483–1546), a German, and John Calvin (1509–1564), a Frenchman, were the leading figures introducing and spreading Protestant political thought leading to the creation of Protestant churches and Protestant states and societies.
