Unit Description

“In 1618 there broke out in Germany the last great religious contest. From the length of time that it lasted it is known as the Thirty Years’ War. In the beginning it was a war within the Empire, growing out of religious and political conflicts in Germany. As it progressed, Spain took an active part in it, Sweden at one time played the chief role, and France became a principal actor. Ultimately all the powers of Western Europe were more or less involved. Its causes were (1) the opportunities for dispute between Catholics and Protestants left by the religious peace of Augsburg and (2) the increased strength of Catholicism due to the progress of the Counter Reformation…”
Charles Horne

“While Wallenstein on the one side and Gustavus Adolphus on the other were fighting the battles of the “Thirty Years’ War” in Germany, a similar religious war was going on in France. Louis XIII and his famous prime minister, Richelieu, were fighting with the Huguenots, or Protestants of France. Louis sat on the throne, but the real ruler of France was Cardinal Richelieu…” John Haaren

“Gustavus and his brave band of Swedes…inspired half a continent with hope and courage. His splendid victories also did much to crush the tyrannical power of Germany, and the good which this great man accomplished has had much to do with the spreading of religious liberty over Europe…” John Haaren

Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

History is HIS Story – God’s story of love, mercy, and redemption through Christ.
- He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. — Ephesians 1‍:‍9-10
God’s providential hand governs and times all events and provides for His Creation according to His plan and purposes.
- The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.- Acts 17: 24 – 27
Godly leadership and servanthood are necessary for one to be a true reforming influence.
- Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many..- Matthew 20:26 – 28
God raises up and removes leaders.
- He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning..- Daniel 2:21
