Judging the Impact of the Reformation - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

Future
generations tend to possess greater insight into the impact of significant
movements throughout history. With the advantage of seeing the events in
hindsight, such movements may be analyzed and considered based on their both
benefits and drawbacks. The Protestant Reformation is such a movement which may
be considered with the advantage of future knowledge. To properly judge the
impact of the Reformation, one must consider both positive and negative
impacts, of which there certainly subsist both. Three primary areas of impact
that should be considered are 1) the Reformation’s impact on congregational
worship participation, 2) division in the church, and 3) exaggerated reform
beyond what was necessary at the time. The positive and negative impacts of the
Reformation aid in rightly judging its impact on the church both during its era
and in the centuries to come.
