Reformation Concepts and Understanding AP Euro ? Questions 1.?MAIN IDEA/QUESTION: Why would the Reformation begin in a Northern European region, NOT in Italy, the ?home? of humanism? The focus of Italian humanism was secular humanism, or gaining knowledge and development as an individual. The focus on Northern Humanism was the reform and better understanding of the Church and Bible. The Northerners would have had more response time to the Church in Rome and thus would have had more time in turn to respond to the Catholics. To help you get there? A. Who were the Brothers and Sisters of the Common Life? B. What famous people of the period had studied there? C. What were their contributions or impacts?
