and, secondly, being sanctified by his Spirit, we aspire to integrity and purity of life.

Geography of

Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli

There are several places in each paragraph where you are given a choice of the word that will correctly complete the sentence and give you a picture of the country and a glimpse into the work of the reformer mentioned. Cross out the incorrect answers to complete each paragraph.

Martin Luther did much of his work in Germany. Germany is a country in (Africa, North America,

Europe). Present-day Germany is bordered by the North Sea, Denmark, the Baltic Sea, (Russia,

Poland, China), Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, and the Czech

Republic. There are many beautiful rivers that flow through Germany, including the Rhine River, the

(Yellow River, Parana River, Danube River) and the (Amazon River, Elbe River, Indus River). There

are mountainous regions in Germany, including the (Black Forest, Himalayas, Caucasus Mountains),

which are covered in beautiful thick forests. Although now known under another name, the

University of (Nottingham, Wittenberg, Gent) in Germany is well known as the place where Martin

Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church. When Martin Luther received a hearing

concerning the new views he had been teaching, the hearing was held in (Cologne, Frankfort,

Worms), Germany. Luther refused to recant his position and became a wanted man. After hiding out

for a time, he returned to teaching, married, and raised a family. He died in (Eisleben, Essen,

Hanover), Germany in 1546.

Switzerland is a country in (Asia, South America, Europe). It is well known for its magnificent

mountains, most notably, the (Rockies, Alps, Andes). There are beautiful lakes, such as (Lake

Superior, Lake Constance, Great Bear Lake). There are also many major rivers in Switzerland, such

as the Rhine River, the (Rhone River, Mississippi River, Rio Grande), and the Inn River. Huldrych

Zwingli worked in Switzerland during the early 16th century to spread the Protestant beliefs. He was

born near (Geneva, Lucerne, St. Gallen) Switzerland. While working as a priest at the cathedral in

(Zurich, Geneva, Bern), he began studying the writings of Martin Luther. The movement he began,

although Protestant, was different from that of Martin Luther.

Geography of

John Calvin and John Knox

There are several places in each paragraph where you are given a choice of the word that will correctly complete the sentence and give you a picture of the country and a glimpse into the work of the reformer mentioned. Cross out the incorrect answers to complete each paragraph.

Although John Calvin did much of his work in Switzerland, he was born in France. He was living in

France when he began his studies of the Reformation. France is a country in (Europe, South

America, Asia). It is bordered by the English Channel, the (Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian

Ocean), Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Andorra, Monaco, and the (Red

Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea). The natural barrier between France and Spain is a mountain

chain called the (Pyrenees, Alps, Himalayas). Present-day France is the (fifth, third, second) largest

country in land area in (South America, Europe, Asia). There are many rivers in France, but the most

well known is probably the (Aube, Garonne, Seine). Calvin was born in (Avignon, Noyon, Bayonne),

France. After graduating from college, Calvin moved to (Tours, Paris, Marseille). It was at this time

that he had a spiritual conversion and began to take part in the Reformation movement. Calvin later

left France and moved to Switzerland where he lived for a few years before being forced to leave

because of his strict doctrine. He moved to Germany, but, when asked to return to Switzerland, he

did and lived there until he died in 1564.

John Knox fought to bring Protestantism to Scotland. Scotland is on an island that is part of present-

day (Scandinavia, United Kingdom, Spain). It shares the island with England and (Ireland, Iceland,

Wales). One of the natural barriers that form a border between Scotland and England is the River

(Tweed, Clyde, Forth). Scotland’s lakes are often called lochs. The largest lake in Scotland is (Loch

Awe, Lake Baikal, Loch Lomond). The country of Scotland is very mountainous and includes the

(Caucasus Mountains, Grampian Mountains, Himalayas). John Knox was born near (Inverness,

Halkirk, Haddington). He was taken away to France as a galley slave during the time he was

working with the Protestant movement in Scotland. After time in France, Switzerland, and Germany,

he was able to return to Scotland. He worked at Edinburgh for some time. Knox died in 1564.

Geography of

Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli

Martin Luther did much of his work in Germany. Germany is a country in (Africa, North America,

Europe). Present-day Germany is bordered by the North Sea, Denmark, the Baltic Sea, (Russia,

Poland, China), Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, and the

Czech Republic. There are many beautiful rivers that flow through Germany, including the Rhine

River, the (Yellow River, Parana River, Danube River) and the (Amazon River, Elbe River, Indus

River). There are mountainous regions in Germany, including the (Black Forest, Himalayas,

Caucasus Mountains), which are covered in beautiful thick forests. Although now known under

another name, the University of (Nottingham, Wittenberg, Gent) in Germany is well known as the

place where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church. When Martin

Luther received a hearing concerning the new views he had been teaching, the hearing was held in

(Cologne, Frankfort, Worms), Germany. Luther refused to recant his position and became a wanted

man. After hiding out for a time, he returned to teaching, married, and raised a family. He died in

(Eisleben, Essen, Hanover), Germany in 1546.

Switzerland is a country in (Asia, South America, Europe). It is well known for its magnificent

mountains, most notably, the (Rockies, Alps, Andes). There are beautiful lakes, such as (Lake

Superior, Lake Constance, Great Bear Lake). There are also many major rivers in Switzerland,

such as the Rhine River, the (Rhone River, Mississippi River, Rio Grande), and the Inn River.

Huldrych Zwingli worked in Switzerland during the early 16th century to spread the Protestant

beliefs. He was born near (Geneva, Lucerne, St. Gallen) Switzerland. While working as a priest at

the cathedral in (Zurich, Geneva, Bern), he began studying the writings of Martin Luther. The

movement he began, although Protestant, was different from that of Martin Luther.


33

Geography of

John Calvin and John Knox

Although John Calvin did much of his work in Switzerland, he was born in France. He was living in

France when he began his studies of the Reformation. France is a country in (Europe, South

America, Asia). It is bordered by the English Channel, the (Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian

Ocean), Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Andorra, Monaco, and the (Red

Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea). The natural barrier between France and Spain is a mountain

chain called the (Pyrenees, Alps, Himalayas). Present-day France is the (fifth, third, second)

largest country in land area in (South America, Europe, Asia). There are many rivers in France, but

the most well known is probably the (Aube, Garonne, Seine). Calvin was born in (Avignon, Noyon,

Bayonne), France. After graduating from college, Calvin moved to (Tours, Paris, Marseille). It was

at this time that he had a spiritual conversion and began to take part in the Reformation movement.

Calvin later left France and moved to Switzerland where he lived for a few years before being forced

to leave because of his strict doctrine. He moved to Germany, but, when asked to return to

Switzerland, he did and lived there until he died in 1564.

John Knox fought to bring Protestantism to Scotland. Scotland is on an island that is part of present-

day (Scandinavia, United Kingdom, Spain). It shares the island with England and (Ireland,

Iceland, Wales). One of the natural barriers that form a border between Scotland and England is

the River (Tweed, Clyde, Forth). Scotland’s lakes are often called lochs. The largest lake in Scotland

is (Loch Awe, Lake Baikal, Loch Lomond). The country of Scotland is very mountainous and

includes the (Caucasus Mountains, Grampian Mountains, Himalayas). John Knox was born near

(Inverness, Halkirk, Haddington). He was taken away to France as a galley slave during the time

he was working with the Protestant movement in Scotland. After time in France, Switzerland, and

Germany, he was able to return to Scotland. He worked at Edinburgh for some time. Knox died in

1564.
