1. The Condemnation of Galileo
Finocchiaro, Maurice. "A Galilean Approach to the Galileo Affair, 1609-2009." Science & Education 20, no. 1 (January 2011): 51-66. Education Research Complete, EBSCOhost (accessed March 22, 2014). This article describes the life and times of Galileo told from the Galilean approach. Finocchiaro travels through the discoveries of Galileo and how others perceived his explorations. After his creation of the telescope and the discovery of the rough side of the moon, the Copernican Revolution began. This is when the argument of the world spinning on an axis and not standing still came into play. “Galileo answered the observational astronomical objections by showing that the empirical consequences implied by Copernicanism were indeed visible with the telescope, although still invisible with the naked eye” (1). The author suggests that when Galileo started to speak publicly about his findings through letters and the Roman Catholic Church became angry. The author writes that in a matter of months, there were two investigations launched on Galileo which lasted for a year (2) After Galileo’s third run in with the law from the Book he wrote called Dialogue, he was found guilty and sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life. The author writes that “A key idea for making sense of the subsequent controversy is to focus on the subsequent criticisms of Galileo and to see how he has been, or can be, defended from them” (3).
2. The radical Reformation (the Anabaptist portion of the Reformation)
Williams, George Huntston. "Studies in the Radical Reformation (1517-1618) : a bibliographical survey of research since 1939." Church History 27, no. 2 (June 1, 1958): 124-160. ATLA Religion Database with ATLASerials, EBSCOhost (accessed March 22, 2014). This article’s theme is the reformation period when Anabaptism was looked at, “for all its, or perhaps precisely because of its, dissociation from principality and privilege.” (1) The article
