Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to an important development in European history, which took place at the borderline between the Middle Ages and the New Age. The author attempts to analyze and rethink the Reformation and Protestantism as the phenomena that underlie the 16th century bourgeois worldview, which stemmed not only from the economic processes and the emergence of capitalism, but also from the moral system of Protestant ethics, which, with the withering of trust in Catholicism, called for a new interpretation of Christian faith, morality, and norms of civil life.
