Reflection
Martin Luther started The Protestant Reformation. Christianity was outward bound because they
were in search of Christians and spices, Missionaries and Pilgrims who spread Christianity, gender in
a change of culture, Syncretism which was Huacas and saints. In china you didn't see Christianity \
become that popular because of the Ming and the Qing. The spiritual needs of people were met
through Confucianisim, Daoism, and Buddhism. Men like Mateo Ricci did push for Christianity but
mostly focused on the Chinese elite by getting concessions. The pope wanted to push for a stronger
Christianity and it upset Emperor Kanxi. Islam also continued to expand, Sufi mystics continued to
spread through southeast Asia and to parts of Africa, Koranic scholars who continued to spread the
word, and Muslim merchants. People adopted a traditional view of Islam. Neo Confucianism was traditional Confucianism that was mixed with Buddhist and Daoist ideas. Kaozhang was a movement that rejected many Confucian principles. In China you began to see the growth of the lower and the middle class which developed the urban popular culture. In India you saw movements that challenged authority. There are many reasons why modern science is developing and the birth of modern science was due to Autonomous Universities, Madrassas and Confucian Learning, and Knowledge from other cultures.
