Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: : Savonarola's profound religious seriousness and unwavering determination demand both admiration and careful analysis of the messages and decisions he made in his fight against the moral slippages of his contemporary society. His actions in Florence underscore the urgent need for religious reform, even if Savonarola's efforts influenced Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation to a small extent. It is essential to recognize that Savonarola anticipated the spirit and objectives of the reformers, paving the way for their efforts and thus facilitating the emergence of the Reformation. This paper explores Savonarola's contributions, providing a deeper understanding of his role in this pivotal historical period. Keywords: Savonarola, Preacher, Middle Ages, Sermon, Apocalyptic, Florence, Dominican
