G. R. ELTON, AN ESTEEMED HISTORIAN OF AN EARLIER GENERATION, once wrote that if there is a single thread running through the whole story of the Reformation, it is the explosive and renovating and often disintegrating effect of the Bible. This book is the story, or at least part of the story, of how the Bible came to have a central role in the sixteenth-century movement for religious reform that we call the Protestant Reformation. There had been many Bible-based reform movements throughout the history of the church, beginning with monasticism, in which the Scriptures had a prominent place in the daily liturgy of the hours. Closer to the Reformation, the Bible had also been championed by late medieval movements of dissentthe Lollards in England, the Hussites in Bohemia and the Waldensians spreading from the Italian Alps to every corner of Europe. There were the Brothers and Sisters of the Common Life who copied, read and taught the Bible in their many communities throughout Germany and the Low Countries. The old myth that there was complete ignorance of the Bible between the death of Augustine and the birth of Luther has long been exploded.
And yet there was something unique in the way the Bible took These examples and many others speak of the transformative effect of the Bible on many who read it eagerly for the first time.
It would be easy to find similar testimonies of the Bibles power and influence from earlier periods in the history of the church. But two developments on the eve of the Reformation made the Protestant appropriation of the Bible more encompassing than anything that had happened in the previous fifteen hundred years. One was the advent of printing, which effected a communications revolution comparable to that brought about by the computer and the Internet in our day. Bibles had to be chained in the Middle Ages, not to prevent their being read but to keep them from being stolen. Bibles were expensive and rare, and it took many months for one copy to be made by hand. The printing press changed all of this almost overnight. By the time of Luthers death in 1546, it is estimated that half a million copies of his Bible were in circulation. The other development was the product of the new learning brought about by the recovery of classical languages and the critical study of ancient sources. This made possible a new approach to biblical scholarship and exegesis.
