The Pastoral Implications of the Protestant Reformation Today

Abstract

Our historical moment in the year 2018 is very similar to the one lived by the reformers of the 16th century. In those
Days Gutenberg's typographic printing press was born, which meant a revolution in human communications. Now
we have new revolutions in communications such as: the cell phone, the radio, the TV, the computer with use
of internet network and space satellites. In those days navigation was revolutionized by Christopher Columbus and his discovery
of America in 1492. Now we have better ships, submarines, cars and planes, even space travel. In those days bullets were fired with a rifle called an arquebus and another called a musket. Now we have an impressive arms revolution, nuclear weapons and drones that hit the target with pinpoint accuracy.
