Summary
Men, women, civil rulers, and religious leaders of the Renaissance and Reformation era were passionately concerned about education at all levels. Catholics and Protestants inherited late medieval universities and monastic order studia. Some civil and religious leaders on both sides of the religious divide found them wanting and created new institutions to teach theology. This survey will summarize the position of theology in institutions of higher learning. And it will describe the massive Catholic and Protestant efforts to teach the fundamental beliefs and doctrines of Christianity to the laity through catechesis.
