Chapter 7: The Renaissance (1400-1600 AD)
By the year 1400 AD, a new period has emerged in Europe. This new period will begin in Florence, Italy and will
quickly spread throughout Europe.
This new period of “rebirth” is known as the Renaissance. The Renaissance will emphasize the importance of
knowledge and a well-rounded education. This period will stress the beauty, power, and potential of the
individual, and will look to the magnificent artistic and philosophical achievements of the ancient Greco-Roman
world for inspiration. The renewed humanism of the Renaissance will produce another Golden Age.

pregnant with all possibilities.
We have made you neither of heaven nor of earth, so that with freedom of choice, and with
honor, as the free and proud shaper of your own being, you may fashion yourself in whatever
shape you shall prefer. … You will have the power to descend into the lower forms which are
brutish. You will have the power, out of thy soul’s judgment, to be born into the higher forms
which are divine.
• Individuals possess the power to make of themselves what they wish.
Oh unsurpassed generosity of God the Father, Oh wondrous and unsurpassed
happiness of man, to whom it is granted to have all that he chooses, to be all that
which he wills to be!
The acuteness of his senses, the inquiry of his reason, and the light of his
intelligence…justify man’s unique right to unbounded admiration.
• Man is, with complete justice, to be called a great miracle.
• There is nothing more wonderful to be seen than man.
