Powerpoint Test Review Blog

Today in class we went over the powerpoint and took notes in our notebooks. We took notes on pg. 118-126. The Main Idea is Cultural Interaction- The roots of Greek culture are based on interaction of the Mycenaean, Minoan, and Dorian Cultures. The seeds of much of western culture heritage were planted during this time period. Some of the terms and names are Mycenaean, Trojan War, Dorian, Homer, and myth. In ancient times, Greece was not a united country. The trojan War was fought around 1200 BCE. Greek oral tradition stories were passed on by word of mouth. Homer lived at the end of these "Greek Dark Ages".

Today in class we finished up the powerpoint and finished reviewing for the test on Friday. Renaissance and Reformation- "reformed"= "Reformation". 1. People win salvation by faith in God's gift of forgiveness. 2. All Church teachings should be clearly based on the words of the Bible. 3. All people with faith are equal. People do not need priests to interpret the Bible for them. Luther suggests Christians drive the pope from the Church by force! Pope Leo X excommunicates Luther. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V is a devout Christian who wants Luther to recant. He is to be arrested on sight. Some of his followers had formed a separate religious group called Lutherans. Catholic is a term meaning "universal" or "whole".
