Unidentified Speaker — The Bible and Western Culture - Luther and the Reformation [jYKyP0Az87I]Evidence Quote
“the printing press is a relatively new invention and is going to have enormous implications for the protestant reformation... the church was quite effective at finding troublemakers at finding heretical fire brands and eliminating them the problem is that although they could find luther they couldn't find all of his books and they couldn't find all of the printing presses”
