My flute teacher was raised in Germany and came over after the war. He never lost his accent, so whenever fast and complicated music came up, he said, "Now the firevorks begin!"
I thought of that teacher as I reached the Luther section of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God.
As Tolkien might have said, "By chance, if it was chance, the Gutenberg Press was invented at the right time to publish everything Luther wrote. And Luther fed the printing presses of Europe with a volume of writing never matched since the Reformation."
Luther and the printing press arrived so powerfully that the Church of Rome could not kill, torture, imprison, and enslave Evangelicals fast enough to stop the Reformation. The Beast was mortally wounded and never recovered its full strength in promoting error in the name of Mary, Purgatory, the Mass, and the power of the pope.
