Detailed explanation-1: -Luther had a better reason to break with the church, because he wanted to teach people what he believed. He was someone who stood against the Catholic Church. He was against the selling of indulgences and believed that salvation could be win only by faith in God’s gift of forgiveness.
Detailed explanation-2: -The difference between the two is primarily a matter of emphasis rather than a matter of content. For Calvin, God is strictly a personal being whose omnipotence controls everything. Like Luther, he held that God is absolute sovereign. However, Calvin goes a little beyond Luther in his emphasis on this point.
Detailed explanation-3: -King Henry VIII’s break with the Catholic Church is one of the most far-reaching events in English history. During the Reformation, the King replaced the Pope as the Head of the Church in England, causing a bitter divide between Catholics and Protestants.
