I think that your assessment is quite right the Renaissance was indeed a time during which people managed not only to recover from war and plague but also to build a new cultural legacy. During these times, not only intellectual and scientific but also new social life thrived (Hunt et al. 2018). Indeed, the Roman and Greek cultures were familiar and relevant to the Europeans, so it is only logical that they became the foundation for the new tendencies in art and literature.
I agree with you that Renaissance was the correct term for the coming age of the European cultural uprising. However, I believe that it was not the satisfaction of rebuilding the Europeans sought but the way to rethink and re-evaluate the morals and doctrines that led them to their current situation. It was an attempt to reshape society with the help of a more global perspective (Hunt et al. 2018). The interest in literature and art was already there, but during Renaissance, it took on a new, more analytical form.
I think too, that the Protestant reformation became a powerful lever that allowed lesser classes of society to topple the existing corrupted doctrines of church and monarchy. In the end, Puritans even managed to make Elizabeth expand her protection over to the continents Puritans (Hunt et al. 2018). By exposing the greediness and corruption of clerics, Luther forced people into recognizing the flaws of society, which led them to the Protestant Reformation.
Your post, while indeed capturing the essence of the Protestant reform, did not elaborate on the economic consequences of it. For example, how the Puritans tried to seize control over the church and overthrow the bishops appointed by the monarchy (Hunt et al. 2018). Still, I agree that the reform provided the foundation for many values that are still relevant for our societies, as well as offering a new way of development for the European community.
