The move from the 6th Century Authority (monasticism) to the 11th Century Authority (Roman Catholicism) to 16th Century Authority (Protestantism) demonstrates very different understandings of two kinds of authority 1) Spiritual (Godly) and 2) Human Relations.
It has seen the movement of political groupings from city-states to nations.
It has seen the de-centralizing of authority from singular authority to national authorities (and eventually the individual authority of each Christian).
It has seen the rising of the place of Scripture over the place of human decision-making.
And many more.
How do you see the Great Emergence effecting the Reformation? What do you think we will lose? What will you miss?
