Growth of protestant religion + technologies helped change sense of self. Conduct books: devotional aids for christians, to encourage self control. Print-based culture, changes in the family, diary etc. Protestant reformation: movement by martin luther, ulrich zwingli and john calvin that asserted that salvation come by faith alone, each believer is responsible for their relationship with god independent of the church.
