Lutheranism was formed, named after Martin Luther, and soon after PROTESTantism was coined to encompass a number of those who PROTESTed against the Catholic Church. Soon after you see the rise of Anglicanism in England and Calvinism is the lowlands. This divide in the Christian world would shape many developments both between and within nations of Europe.
